While I agree that a tpms is a good idea, tires with solid quality control could have probably prevented this. Get the garbage Chinese tires off your rig and keep the new tires perfectly inflated and you will not have another failure short of road hazard. I also concur with the above posters that trailers should generally have their tires aired up to their max unless to solve funny wear or ride quality issues. The side loads on trailer tires are unique and hard tires are safer and will run cooler. Air and good construction will prevent blow outs.
Murphy isn't Chinese or American but he will wreak havoc when he can. Also you're not doing yourself any favors by failing to ground your statements in reality.
