I check air pressure before every trip, tires were at 80PSI, driving on interstate between 60-65MPG outside temperature was between 75-80F about 50 miles into trip I heard something and heard a vibrating noise I thought of a flat so I checked my truck display and truck tires were good. I pulled of next exit which was less than a 1/2 mile I got to a safe spot and did a visual and driver side rear travel trailer tire had tread separation, I went about 1 mile to a shopping center parking lot to change the tire and tread was impaled into the travel trailer floor causing damage to electrical converter and put a hole in the slide out. This is the start of the 3rd year camping with this travel trailer we average about 10 trips a year with a total mileage between 1000-1200 total
