Multiple blowouts in short time
Hoping to get some feedback from others who've dealt with the multiple blowout issues. We've had many tire issues in the 3 1/2 years of owning our 5th wheel. We bought the 2013 trailer in Florida in...

16" load E @ 80 psi ST Master Track...Goodyear Marathons ST 16" load E @ 80 psi both are know for what you found out. Their just a couple of what is known affectionately (?/&$#@^*) as ST tire "may pops". Many of us , myself included with 5 trailers on the road with 28 tires on the ground, know all about them and found how to get away from those types tire issues on heavy trailers.
Your not concerned with input from trailer owners with small 13"/14"/15" sizes but 16" wheels for 6k-7k axles.
Your trailer may have 6k axles which the old long time favorite for those that need a tire for 40k-60k miles and 7-8 years of trouble free service the Bridgestone R-238 and Michelin XPS Ribs in a LT235/85-16 E @ 80 psi at 3042 lbs capacity. Both are a commercial grade all steel ply carcass tire so their at the top of the LT E heap.
If your trailer has 7k axles then the 16" load G tire at 110 psi works best. Most ST or LT G @ 110 psi tires work great on commercial class trailer and are very popular with RV folks and heavier trailers.
JFI a 16" load G tire requires a 16" 110 psi rated wheel with 110 psi rated metal clamp in stems only. Rubber stems have a 60 psi and a 100 psi rating.
Right now the commercial grade all steel ply carcass Sailun S637 Load G in a ST235/80-16 G at 4080 lbs capacity are tops. They are intended for regional service trailer but work great on rv trailers.
Those load G tire you now have may eliminate ruined tires...much depends on what brand they are and how much pressure 24/7.
I would get another opinion on bearings and hubs. They won't cure a tires poor reliability issues like the brands you had.
