I have seen tires blow on trailers that were within gross weight limits. Sometimes they are not hitched exactly right and not balanced (loaded) correctly.
Having a balanced load on all 4 tires (double axle trailer) is an important factor in tire failures. If your trailer is carrying more weight on one of the axles, it's possible to run them hotter than the other 2 tires.
As said, 3 yr life span , monitor your speed, watch your weight and keep them inflated .
Having the correct size tire that matches the wheel plus all the above....you should be fine. Sure tire quality is a factor but overloading and excessive heat are also the enemy .
