Heading to Las Cruces NM, rear tire BLEW. Heard the pop, saw debris fly and TST Alarm … believe front tire kicked up something and rear tire ate it. Had been debating changing the 2017 tires. Lessons learned:
1- Make sure jack will jack up trailer (try it)
2- Make sure you have the plan to fix it
3- Impact wrench would not loosen nuts
4- No break over bar, had to use torque wrench
5- Got spare out because bolt and slide were lubed
6- Practice changing a tire

Blessings:
1- Minor body damage
2- Spare had tire monitor and pressure
3- 54 Towing in Tularosa NM was four miles away ( jack wasn’t big enough)
4- From tire failure to drive away was 45 minutes
5- Shady side tire failure, opposite side from traffic
6- Wide shoulder
7- Day time and breeze blowing and temperature below 90

Big-O Tire in Silver City NM (next days stop), got me a set of Sailun tires the next day $960 out the door on four tires.
