I rented boom-lift trailer, one piece unit, 20 miles up the hill on tollhouse road, the right tire rolled off the bead in a lt curve, the trailer flipped on it's side and went over the embankment, dragging my rear tire to the precipus. It cost me $740.00 to pull it onto the road and flatbed it to the rental site.
Near mile marker 52 on i65 sb tire 1 blew out we pulled over on the side of the interstate and changed the tire with the spare tire. We purchased a new tire to replace tire 1.

While towing the camper, we experienced multiple catastrophic tire blowouts (including 2 on the same day, tires were all new) due to the axles being out of alignment. Tire blowouts caused damage to our camper and hit vehicles traveling behind us on the road.
