Why do I keep blowing out tires on my truck?
The last three sets of tires on my 2007 Ram 2500 have had one tire blow out. Always the same, passenger side rear. Have not weighed my trailer but specs are 7,000 dry, GVWR 10,500, pin weight 1,500....

Possible that the RR brake Is “hanging” and causing excessive heat in the tire.
If so the pads would be gone and backing plates would be gouging the rotors.
Leave it up to 12V to only think of extremes: The calipers are either floating on the rotors or gouging the rotors, and nothing else. LOL. Typical knuckledragger.
If the caliper is not releasing the pad completely and it's always riding the rotor, it'll generate heat and wear a little more than the rest. That's possible and it hasn't been ruled out, except by 12V and Gritdog.
I think JRscooby is on to something: Right turns and rubbing curbs is also a possibility.
BTW, how much over inflated will a tire need to be to do damage? In this case, it's unknown. It's still unknown if the tire pressure gage is accurate, so it's difficult to answer. There are too many variables. The only consistant items are three blowouts on the same tire at approximately the same mileage, and gritdog and 12V thinking they know everything.
