When it comes to a lack of information and lack of knowledge, the boat industry just about puts the RV industry to shame. There's a whole bunch of credit card captains out there. Just ask the Coast Guard lol.
Roger Marble (Tireman9) is a good guy, very helpful, knowledgeable, and an expert in the industry. The people who run this site felt that he violated some self promotion / commercial rules when it came to his blog. Lots of people still disagree with this. He was banned and his posts deleted. That's a shame because he was really making a good effort to get expert info out to the people. He still out there fighting the good fight on his blog and he keeps it update regularly with all kinds of tire related topics. Very good info.

No grease on the ball
6 lug axles very possibly "D" rated tires which are borderline on that size trailer.

Quite likely. My old TT came originally with C load range tires. At 50PSI the sidewalls always looked squishy. I think those were rated for something like 1700lbs per tire for a total of 6800. But wait, the TT had a GVWR of 7,600lbs :E Yep, they were planning on the 800 pound difference being on the tongue.
My wheels were rated for 65PSI so I went up to load range D tires that were rated at 2500lbs per tire. Never had another squishy side wall after that.
Oh, and not having all tools necessary to change a flat is just bad planning.

Here is a video of a tire failure that I have not seen before. I have nothing else to do right now so I thought that I would post it on here to see if anyone wanted to comment on it.

We now live in a society where that approach is typical.
An example is, people that can only navigate to a destination if they have GPS to guide them. Many can't read a paper map. Most have no idea what a topo map is showing them.
