Default Interesting trailer tire blow out experience

With one fender rusted out and flapping in the wind, I started out for J&B Boat, approx 15 miles away.

I get about 5 miles down route 295, and motorist signals issue with my rig. Thought it was the rusted fender, but it was a rear tire going flat. I pull off and yup, it's flat but I decide to keep going on the shoulder because - it's a dual axle trailer.

At 25 mph the flat tire starts smoking, so i slow to 20 and I get there just fine.
I took some pictures and will post.

Nice benefit to having the dual axle trailer. Got the new dual axle trailer with stainless brakes and brake lines.
