All 3 tires did not blow at the same time. The first to go was the driver side rear. This weekend the passenger side rear blew on my way to the campground. On my way home the passenger side front went. Each time I heard the tire pop I pulled over immediately.

Yep, and when the drivers rear went out, you immediately overloaded the other three tires. Repeat for the other two losses -- the remaining tire on that side

Doesn't matter how quickly you reacted -- they still had to carry extra weight, and suddenly at speed.

I don't believe that loosing one tire on a tandem axle trailer overloads the two tires on the opposite side of the one where the tire failure occurred. However, as I discussed in my previous post it will definitely double the load on the one tire remaining on the side of the tire failure seriously compromising that tire I feel to the point that I would not trust it except as an emergency spare in the future and hence my thoughts that tires need to be replaced in pairs when you have a tire failure on a tandem axle trailer.
