Well, Mayf . . . you've made the top 5 thing to think about when I can't
sleep!
Do you have any idea of the age of the failed tires? i.e. How many months
in sunny P'rump before they fail?
Just thinking a little bit . . . .

As mentioned in one post reply, the failures happen in seemingly random
locations. Except for the last two. The drivers side middle axle failed
and I never even knew it, lol. It exploded and sen rubber parts
everywhere. Then the trailing wheel was found to be bad also when I was
changing the middle one. It hand not failed but the tread was separating
from the sidewall at the shoulder. Others have occurred on the P side
but always singly. Common factor seems to be the manner of failure and
that is tread separation at the shoulder of the tire.
When I load the trailer I try and load it somewhat symmetrically. Motor
of the car is between the first two axles, etc...

Mayf - Is there any perceivable pattern to which trailer tire
locations fail? If so it may be some non-uniform loading on the
trailer wheels. A single axle trailer is a simple statics problem.
But add a second axle and the statics problem becomes inderterminate
influenced by the relative "springiness" of every load point.

Neil, as I just sent a reply to another post...my trailer is 15800
capacity tripple axle. I load it to around 10 k. tires are faithfully
kept to the highest rating on the side walls. I think Greenball is the
maker of Towmaster tires. I think and that may be dangerous, lol. Been
a while since my thinker has worked well apparently. How fast do
you tow?> mayf
