tire wear

This answer in interesting. So, loaded to the tire design limit (which would be the case, if the kitchen slide side was about 1000 pounds heavy) this leads to separation of the steel cords and subsequent tread separation??

I have had 3 blowouts on short service G614s (like less then 12,000 miles on the tires). Two on the left and one on the right--but the right one was roatated right from the left. Is it really so simple that the TK3 is so heavy that the G614 is a marginal tire for the trailer??

Another question... are all overloaded tire failures (diagnosed by both inside and outside tire wear) the major contributor to tread separation??
