Ok someone asked about details. The tires were aired to 80 psi. I just went on a camping trip 1 month prior. Before that it sat under a shed on gravel. The sun does not hit the tires. Tires were not balanced. The outside temp when the tires failed was about 82 deg. Also I don’t drive over 65 mph.
OK, I'm the one who asked about whether your tires were balanced.
I'm in the middle of researching the use of Dyna Beads in my tires. There's a separate thread going on this subject. I noticed the following info on the Dyna Beads site:
Always Balance Trailer Tires! You will not only increase your tire mileage, but your wheel bearings will run cooler and your tires will last longer due to the fact that an unbalanced tire is constantly flexing the sidewall, which creates excessive heat, which ultimately weakens the tire.
I'm not saying use Dyna Beads, but you should at least have your next set of tires balanced with conventional wheel weights.
