Not that this fix your problem but I encountered similar problems with 3
different brands of trailer tires and found these to be the toughest by far.
My 20' enclosed trailer is only rated for #7000 but #10,000 gross tires
failed within a year. I have found these are the highest rated that were
avalable when I last purchased 2 years ago. Carlisle Radial-Trailer ST225/75
R15 LRE. Thay are rated at 2830 apiece making the total load 11,320 @ 80
psi so far no failures. I also carry 2 spares.

They have 16" available over #3000 each but I fit them on my trailer due to
the diameter. If you are considering truck tires I have the best luch with
old bias-ply 7:00 x 15's. Hard as hell and never wore out in 18 years on an
open trailer; but it wasn't over loaded
I also cover my tires to protect them from the sun and jack up the trailer
so the tires do not touch the ground. (nice to have a fork lift at the
plant) ........Good luck

I think the old bias belted tires
