I am happy that some are posting their LT trailer use blow outs here. It proves blow outs happen no matter what the type or brand of tire you use. May some blow more than others, that is debatable because there are no facts, but the fact does remain...tires can all blow at anytime.

I'm a Michelin fan .... they make fine tires, I have them on our pickup, Sportchassis, and my wife's Trailblazer .... that said, because I believe there are better options, I will not use them on a camper .... in purchasing a TPMS you are taking a good stride in helping minimize tire failure issues .... in stating you have 16" rims, down the road it might pay to upgrade the tires to Goodyear 614's .... that combo will may help prevent damage from a failure and if damage does happen, you don't have to pay for the repairs

Op does not have a TPMS. I have had 3 blowouts, all ST tires. Never heard any of them. Last 2 had TPMS and I was alerted before damage. Not unusual to have blowouts and not hear them.
In my book a "Blowout" will be heard.

Maybe it is time for RIBs on the trailer and a tire pressure monitoring system.
Oh well, time to go fix the damage to the trailer…
Wait a cotton-pickin minute. :S
Did nobody notice that he said , and I quote "Maybe it is time for RIB's on the trailer?"
I am very curious what type of Michelin he was running with. Michelin makes several models of LT tires some suitable for trailers, some not.
Before everyone goes running off like Chicken Little screaming about Michelin's blowing out maybe the poster will tell us what type of Michelin he was using since it was not a RIB.
Before all you ST lovers jump on this runaway bandnwagon maybe you should find out which way it's head'in.
