Tire Blow Out

[TitanTn]

For us professional tire shredders, this is what we call a "complete blow-out." This is obviously on my camper and not the boat trailer. It happened literally on mile 423 of a 425 mile trip. I never felt it and had to be notified by some people driving by. The camper is kept under a cover, the tire was only 3 years old, it was inspected before the trip and inflated to the proper amount. Please don't buy Carlisle tires. This is the fourth one I've blown.

Damn dude!!! Go big or go home right?

Had the same issue a few months back on the way to Florida. Didn't have a blowout but came close a few times. Usually the failure starts with a belt shifting internally and the tire becoming very unbalanced. Creating heat and then BAM.....

By the look at your sidewall I would say the trailer is overweight, most are. It is stupid on how much stuff gets jammed into the compartments. Emptied ours after a few years of service and was in shock of what was in there. I would head to the scales to get an accurate weight.

Were those retreads? I've only seen Goodyears and re-treads do that!!

Fortunately it doesn't look like it did much damage to the trailer.
Buddy blew a rear tire and it wrapped fender like a can opener.

I Agree with DAFF..... looks like it could be over weight. Roll thru the scales and check it out.

These are were not retreads, and I don't feel like they're overloaded. I agree with DAFF, that you can easily pack too much into these campers, but I'm running lighter now than I've run in years. A few years ago I ran about 500 miles loaded at least 1,200 pounds heavier than I am now. I really feel that I'm within the limits of the tires and camper. The guy who changes it out today said the belts just let go. No real clue as to why.

And yeah, I am lucky in terms of limited damage. It could have ripped the entire fender well out, but it didn't. I have no damage other than the tire.

Well, no more Carlisle tires for me. We'll see how this goes for a while.

I finally got a pair of Tow Max tires under my trailer and I love them after all the issues I had initially with the tires on my trailer. I went through two sets in 3 months, even had the whole suspension and alignment checked out after the first set blew out on me. And yeah, I always check the inflation before I set out on a trip and I check at every fill up on long trips.
