N-Trouble

Tires are 2-3yr old. Spare measures 12mm tread depth and my running tires are all at 10-11mm with even wear across all tires. They dont sit in the sun and have zero cracks.
Now to the day it blew I was only traveling 63-65mph (do 70+ all the time in NV) and had only been on the highway for 30-40min when it let go. I felt it blow and pulled off immediately. The entire tread ring was still intact and separated from the tire. Trailer is only 12klb GVWR so tires were not run up at their limits. Run them all at 70psi all the time. Go figure...
