I am concerned because the 2 tires in question were on the same side of the 5th wheel. The tires are ST 225 75R15, 80PSI. I always check the PSI before a trip, so that was correct.
Any input of thoughts as to whether this is a "tire" issue or a possible axle issue? Also, whenever I level side to side, I always have to put the side in question on a 2" board to level the coach, even on "level" pavement campsites.

Not a tire expert, but since both tires on one side failed, is that side of the trailer heavier vs. the other, ie. long slide? Are you loaded heavy on that particular side? If you maintain your tire inflation at 80 PSI, seems like either an axle issue or weight/weight distribution might be the prime suspects.........:h
