Travel Trailer Tires Keep Blowing Out on the Same Side
Question:
Why does my trailer tire on my travel trailer keep blowing out same tire same side
asked by: Carlton L
Expert Reply:
Tire failure can be caused by overloading the tire, exceeding the speed rating of the tire (which causes it to overheat), not having it inflated properly, and general damage like hitting curbs.
Since you have just one tire on one side that keeps blowing out I think we can eliminate exceeding the speed rating although it would be a good idea to double check that as well.
You will want to make sure that you are loading your trailer evenly (left to right as well as front to back) so that the loaded weight is distributed between all of your tires. Check the recommended psi rating and make sure that you have the tire properly inflated so that it can carry its max amount of weight. For instance, the Taskmaster Provider, part # TA57VR, has a maximum load rating of 2,540 lbs at 65 psi. If it is not inflated to 65 psi then that weight limit will vary.
Damage to tires is a very common thing, a lot of times this will comes from hitting a curb. If a driver has trouble making a right or left turn and continues to clip the curb with the trailer tires then that will weaken the side walls and definitely contribute to the tires failure.
Another thing to check would be the trailer suspension on the side that keeps failing. Make sure it is in good working order, was done correctly, and that there is no damage to it.
If you are still experiencing this issue after using these troubleshooting tips just let me know and I can help you troubleshoot further.
