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....

Etc. Etc.
If the tires are overinflated and the sidewalls are too stiff, the risk goes up. Is that the root cause? Maybe not. I would suspect excessive heat build up on the right rear caused by something else. Too much heat at the rim is added stress to the sidewall. If the tire is already overinflated from a bad gauge (I've had them and have throw them away), the tire's life could be reduced. Sooner or later, any kind of road debris is going to cause it to give out.
Of course, all useless information according to Grit Dog and the 12V owner. They know everything.
