A double axle 14' wells cargo trailer. The tire destroyed the beds outside panel ,bumper, scratched tail gate, wire harness for the 5er, plus miscellaneous bracing, inner wall supports, etc.
I was driving to pick up my 5er to head out on a 10 dat trip to the Black Hills. I am so glad this did not happen 3 days later when we were supposed to leave for that trip.

Any clue why it blew/ What brand did you use as replacements?
Michelin has had some LT tires recalled but that was in 2013 - https://www.michelinman.com/safetyRecalls.html
