Another blow out!
Coming back from Beaufort NC today on 70 just outside Goldsboro, the driver's side rear tire decided to let go! Took out the skirting and looks like there might be some small structural damage too. ...

If they are not LT tires they are for cars.
They are LT tires according to the link given.

The link I clicked on shows the Defenders to have P and LT tires and shows two 235/75R-15/XL 109 T at 2270 lbs capacity 50 psi passenger class tire. I couldn't find a 235/75R15C class tire on Michelins or Tirerack web.
If thats the case the low 50 psi pressure alone may disqualify this tire for a trailer needing a 65 or 80 psi tire.....if thats the OP tire requirements.
P type tires are required by fed regs to have their capacity derated by dividing 2270 lbs by 1.1 = 2064 lbs for trailer service. Which IMO would work great on 3500 lb axles and smaller lighter weight tandem and single axle trailers.
