Hi,
We have a 2013 Skyline Mountain View Joey Select (TT), currently with 225/75R15 Power King Tow Max tires load range D's. About 2 months ago we had a blow out that caused significant damage to the wheel well and I always check pressure, never overload and travel usually about 65-70mph when pulling. The GVWR is about 8500. The tires appeared to be in great shape when it blew and I've subsequently found a lot of bad reviews for those tires.
I have been looking to replace the set before we leave on a trip that will be roughly a 1400 mile trip in December and I want to have a dependable set of tires.
I am also fairly intent on buying a load range E set this time.
I have found some Trailer Kings on amazon with mostly good reviews but wanted any opinions on reputable tire manufacturers.
Any suggestions?
If the failure was in the mid to upper sidewall then you had a Run Low Flex Failure. A TPMS should have provided warning of the air leak. It only takes a few miles of driving at highway speed to end up with a tire that looks like this.

If the tire looked like this

Then you suffered a belt separation which comes from excess load, heat and speed (faster than 60 - 62 mph)
