Why do trailer Tires Explode ??

[Steviebee]

I guess u got home ok to P.

Eric,  even if i drove over the curb at .2 mph ?  It wasnt the tire that blew up anyways.

The sun will dryrot your tire real fast.

By chance, was it the tire that sets on the southside of the trailer when it's parked in your yard??

Tire covers are key if your trailer sits for any period of time.  Even a piece of plywood could be leaned against the tire to block the sun's rays.

Also, your comment about the rain is irrelevent and maybe even completely false.  Tires heat from the inside out.  The tire at speed was heating up and the cool water was chilin' the outside.  This action may cause the bias ply tread to delaminate from the tire.  Then BOOM!!  You can usually tell if this was the way it went because the tread would be separate from the tire.

 Geez, Steve glad you had a spare, I just got a spare myself last week. Hope this inspires others to do the same. Could make of a long night if you didn't have one. Next time try a M2 on the rear they work great ;)

     I'm not even going to get started on my bad luck, but I do have experience on this subject, except I loose the whole wheel and tire along with ripping out the studs on the trailer. :o

     I had a rear tire on my F-250 SuperDuty blow out in Nashville on my way back from the R.O.C. last fall, that thing souded like a shot gun when it exploded! That tire was 'E' load rated and should have easily been able to handle the load that I was pulling, I still don't know what destroyed that tire?
