We've had three tire failures. Two were sudden blowouts with the accompanying BOOM, loud enough to be heard in the cab of a noisy Dodge Cummins diesel. No difference in the steering or handling of the truck/trailer at all. These were all on 5th wheels.
The third one we didn't even know about until we were waved at by a passing car. No squirrely handling, no noise, just a destroyed tire. This one and one of the blow-outs were on a triple axle toyhauler.
Two of the tires were less than 2 years old, and one, on a different 5th wheel, was very close to it's past due date.
