That's about matched my experiences with single axle trailers blowing tires.
As well tow dollies blowing a tire. Pull over, nothing more. Even the one
single axle trailer that snapped the axle stub off, just pulled over.
Double axle trailers don't guarantee safety, and single axle trailers aren't
inherently dangerous.
