I find it offensive that anyone who reports a tire failure gets grilled about tire pressure and/or weight.
The suggestion was that he call an attorney.
The reason for asking the questions about tire pressure and weight is because that is what the tire company is going to claim. HE UNDERINFLATED THEM.
or did not properly inflate them
So I ask the question, here, where he has the choice of responding or not, to prepare him for what the Tire Company Liar is going to claim.
Now do you understand the question?
Personally... I know that most folks are more likely to go with the max pressure for the tire than they are the sticker pressure on the RV and at that pressure you loose several things, including tire life (But not that much) mostly tread life, not blow out loss.
You loose control easier, and it's a rougher ride, but it's not as likely to blow out as if it's under inflated.
I also had a trailer that even with max pressure would blow a casing every time I towed it till I upgraded the tires.
THIS. I suspect, is the Original poster's problem.. But as I said the Tire Company Liar and the trailer maker will try to blame the original poster. How it's done. So he needs to be ready to answer those question if he sues, which he should do.
