Just had our third blowout in three trips with our 5er. The tires range from 1 1/2 years old to 10 months old. Two happened this summer in 100+ degree weather. Yesterday's happened in cool weather. Trailer is not overloaded. Tires are ALWAYS inflated to 80 lbs. and I tow at not more than 60 mph. Blowouts have occurred in all but one wheel location. No unusual tread wear on tires.
Anyone else having issues with these tires? Thinking of Maxxis tires next. Thoughts????
Once upon a time we lived in your part of the country for four years, (NAS Lemoore). There was a place in Hanford where we often rented dual axle camping trailers for our trips up into the mountain parks and forests. Whenever we went to get a trailer we would have to wait for the owner's maintenance people to go and get the wheel assemblies from a cool room storage area. He told us that none of the trailer tires would last more than two years out in that heat and it didn't matter if they were covered or not.
Just sort of thinking out loud.
