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....

Nothing from the OP in a couple days, wonder how he's faring. I'd be curious to hear if he found anything.
Grit dog and 12V have spoken and the question has been answered. LOL.
And your genius answer was that he grossly over filled 1 of 4 tires with a bad pressure gauge? Lol
Not sure where you are coming from on this, but having a decent collection of tire gauges, I’ve compared some from time to time and whether they were new, old, cheap or expensive, they always seemed to run within a few psi of each other.
You’re one of those folks who doesn’t have the answer (None of us do here and the OP isn’t handing out more bread crumbs for you to salivate over.), but gets butt hurt when someone doesn’t agree with you.
And if you want to talk actual experience, I’ve been over filling truck tires (mostly a truck on half tons with cheap OE tires) to match a load above their weight rating for a long time and many miles on many trucks. Like 60psi in a 44psi tire to take the squishy out of it. OP over inflating a bit is not a likely cause.
But then again, some folks cannot write anything off as a coincidence and are too dense to understand things like passenger side tires are more susceptible to damage in general.
