Chief, are you sure those tires are rated for the load you carry on your trailer? It sounds like they may have been overloaded, overheated, and then separated. There are a lot of trailer manufacturers around and it wouldn't surprise me to find that some of them put tires on that won't carry a full rated load. If you have a weighmaster somewhere close by it may be worth loading up the trailer and taking it down to have it weighed just to be sure. I've seen full size work vans pop tires and we had to go from the OEM 8 ply to a full 12 ply to carry the load. 8 plys were fine for moderate loads but these guys carried lots of pipe and metal plumbing parts and were just too heavy for the factory tires (probably too heavy for the van, too, but that's another issue).
