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....

It’s possible they are overinflated.
You need to do some weighing
Truck empty
Truck loaded for a trip with hitch in bed
Truck and trailer
Then you will know your true weights.
See, if you did a little math with the known weight (approx) of the rear of a HD truck empty and the likely range of pin weight, the OP is right in range for 80 psi on those tires.
Unless you’re going one step further and forcing the OP to admit that he’s carrying a half load of firewood and a rock collection or that maybe his trailer is magically reaaaaly light weight on the pin. In which case he’d be overinflated but it wouldn’t hurt the tires one bit.
Some of the suggestions here are about as viable as Martians are coming down and destroying one tire on his truck every 3 years!
