Why do I keep blowing out tires on my truck?
The last three sets of tires on my 2007 Ram 2500 have had one tire blow out. Always the same, passenger side rear. Have not weighed my trailer but specs are 7,000 dry, GVWR 10,500, pin weight 1,500....

Bad shock allowing the tire to bounce at a high enough frequency you wouldn't necessarily feel it. I'd be looking for something that causing that tire to bounce/wobble/run out of round, or something along those lines. Maybe even check the wheel temp for a dragging brake, but that seems pretty unlikely as you'd be changing pads more frequently.fj12ryder wrote:
What caused the blowouts? Tread separation, sidewall blowout, or other stuff? May be time for a cheap TPMS to see what that tire is doing.
Tread separation all three times. I check tire pressure and adjust if needed before every trip. I set them to the max rated at 80 PSI.
Maybe get someone to drive beside you on the highway at varying speeds to see if they can spot an issue. Just a thought.
