Tire Blow-out scenario's please, single axle only

[VTR]

Those of you that have had a blow out hauling a single axle TT, what took place and what kinda of damage occurred. After we purchased or single axle TT, I now wish I had purchased a double axle. Any stories you are interested in sharing please do.

Had one go on my old PuP once. They were due for replacing but I hadn't done it (bad me). The trailer started pulling to the right, and made a loud thump-thump sound after the air got low enough - it didn't pop, it just deflated over a period of a half a minute or so. I pulled over and changed it. No damage.

I also had one go on my current trailer (caused by the piece of metal that was still in the tire) but it's a tandem axle. It was making a similar noise, but there was no noticeable change in handling. I suspect I was traveling a lot further with it in bad shape. No damage there either, although changing it in the rain was no fun.

not a tt but i had a boat trailer tire blow out on me once.it destroyed the tire and rim and nearly lost the boat as well.one thing i learned from it was rotate/balance the tires at the start of every season! it gives you a chance to carefully inspect every tire.last season i found cupping on the ds tire so off it came.

Proper care and inspection of tires is essential. Proper tire pressure, Keep clean, and NEVER use tire dressing that contains silicone. Know the Born Date of your tires and check side walls for deep cracks. When parked, use tire covers to keep the sun's UV light from drying out the sidewalls.

Tires are rated for weight and temperature. Faster you go, hotter the tire gets. A TPMS will help in monitoring your tires and relieve some of your stress and anxiety.
