What kind of tires did you buy? Dealer install? Did you check the pressure before starting the trip?
How low? A pic would help there.

You would need new wheels and have to make sure they would fit the wheel well. They would also need to have the same bolt pattern which is unlikely.

Your photos didn't come through.

When you reply, find the box under "Additional Options" that says "Attach Files" and click the "Manage Attachments" button.

You can choose up to 4 files at a time to attach. You must click the "Upload" button to get them associated with your post. I always verify how things look (sometimes the images get inverted) by clicking the "Preview Post" button before I finally submit the post.

I hope this helps.

My advice check with a RV dealer or shop. Maybe make sure you have the right tire size, axles are aligned correctly. See if they advise to raise it any further. Make sure it has the right axle for that trailer. Tires blow out for many reasons, mainly overloaded or to old. But, without seeing the tire and knowing more about it, we are just guessing.

Probably have it fixed by now, but if your actually turning the axles over to get spring pads on the top or bottom then that is your issue as the axles have a radius built into them so when weight is added they flatten out some but still keeps tires pretty much straight. The radius or hump in the axle tube should be on the top not the bottom.
