Three trail america brand tires blew out in a 20 mile radius on a horse trailer. Damage was caused to the horse trailer. A subsequent contact with the manufacturer of the tires brought forth information that indicated the trailer may have been sold to us with improper tires that were not adequate rating to support the trailer which LED to the blowouts. All tires on the trailer will need to be replaced (we've owned it for just two years) and the trailer itself needs repair.
