Donna & I had one flat (screw in tire) in Council Bluff, Iowa, but I saw 
the bulge and  changed it before the tire shredded. I run 55 psi in the 
trailer tires.
Came home and pulled all 4 wheels, repacked the bearings and found one 
tire that broke the belt, distorted the tire, leaving bald spots. I was 
at the weight limit of 7500 lbs.

Scott Griswold towed Morrison's trailer out this year, Colin Walsh & 
Scott went thru 8 tires & 1 rim...grossly overweight!!!
