What happened to you, happened to me, down to fortunately catching the problem while it was sitting still, and not on the highway.
My tires were Maxxis ST205/75R14 LRC. I did have over 30k miles on them, but they looked nearly new. Tire store said it suffered belt separation.
I replaced the Maxxis with the latest Carlisle and then sold the trailer.
My new trailer came with OEM GY Endurance tires.

Thanks for the reply profdant139. I have read a lot of threads on tires since we got ours and there are a lot of people replacing their offshore tires with Endurance tires.
On our long Spring vacation trip this year we were in Suffolk Virginia and getting ready to break camp. I was doing my usual checking each tire for pressure and anything unusual. On the right rear I found a raised place with the steel cord showing. 3/4 of the tire looked perfect. 14,000 miles on the tires. Found a set of ST205/75R14 at Discount Tire in Virginia Beach. Put the spare on and went to Discount Tire. Man we dodged a big bullet. Sure happy with the new tires. Out the door with new high pressure stems and balance for $532. Very nice folks at Discount Tire. The dealer said it was belt separation. Usually these offshore tires look perfect and run great until they blow. I was lucky.
