Back in my trailer days it seems that every time I hit the road BANG, went a tire.
Finally upgraded the tires to a larger size (Possible on those trailers) with a greater load range.
Scale the trailer.. Then compare the results to the tire ratings.. and inflation pressure,, If you are blowing tires frequently it means one of three things.
1: Very hazardous driving (IE: you like to drive over beds of nails) (low probility)
2: China bombs (High probility)
3: Over load (Likewise)
4: Bad wheel bearings (medium). (Generate far too much heat, THIS is what I think was popping mine cause I went to a larger tire, reduced RPM's on the wheel meant less heat).
