The statement that "it's not if but when a tire will blow" is true if you're running Chinese made trailer tires. As we've discussed repeatedly, Chinese tires have extremely poor quality.
On my last 5th wheel and on my current toy hauler I run Michelin LT truck tires and not once have I worried about a tire issue. I also don't have to baby the tires the way we do ST tires.

Switched to LT tires in 07 and have had no more trailer tire issues after 3 blowouts between our first two trailers. If you have to use ST tires try Maxis or the new Carlisle. Our Doran Pressure Pro is very quick to alert us on pressure loss. Of course in the case of a blowout with a sudden loss there will be a second or so delay in the alert on the Doran system.
