..... While at my dealer I noticed the remains of this Chinese manufactured tire which came off a new trailer sold just 6 months earlier, meaning the tire wasn't any more than a year old and according to the owner the trailer hadn't been towed more than a few hundred kms. Scary - you bet. :E Unusual? - probably ... but an irrelevant argument if it happens to you. :W

That is a Run Flat - the result of operating the tire without inflation pressure, a 90% probability that there is a puncture in the tread. The other 10%? Puncture in the damaged area that can't be seen or leaky valve!
This can happen to any tire at any time.
After the fact, when you're sitting on the side of the highway with a blown tire, the cause is irrelevant. :R My point is exactly what I said previously - " - no one can guarantee one way or the other how long your tires will last". No one on any forum can assure the OP or anyone else otherwise, regardless of what tire they're running. :R
