  Need trailer tire help

I have a B7500 Kubota which I trailer quite a bit on both pavement and dirt roads. My trailer is 14' by 7' rated for 4400 pounds. The tires are 5.30 by 12 Carlisle 6 ply. I have ruined 3 tires this summer in only about 500 miles. All have had the sidewalls bulge. Looks like broken cords to me. The trailer is not overloaded according to the tire ratings. I am looking for a heavier tire in the same size. The only one I can find on the net is made by Nanco. It comes in 4, 6, or 8 ply. I have never heard of Nanco. Does anyone have experience with these tires? Can anyone offer other tire manufacturer suggestions?

Art: my trailer is a tandem. The tire ratings are 1045 pounds at 80 psi. I find the trailer very choppy unloaded at that tire pressure so usualy run 50-60 pounds. The trailer is very well built (these guys have been in the business for years) but the tires seem to be the weak spot. I never weighed the tractor with FEL and winch but guessed about 3000 pounds based on Kubota literature. Maybe I am way off and the load is heavier. I am not worried about hubs and spindles as they were oversized on my request. Axels are rated at 2500 lbs each. I could go to 13" wheels but want to keep the deck as low as possible not to mention I just made the investment in the trailer.

Thanks very much for all the advice guys. Axles are close together and it has always been the front tires that have failed. I will try loading closer to the rear of the trailer. I have also gone back to the manufacturer and told him I am not too happy and what does he suggest. No feedback yet. A friend suggested the springs are too stiff for the load and are not giving any. Therefore the tires have to take all the pounding and are breaking the sidewalls. When it all gets done I think 14" wheels are in the picture.
