I had the same experience with my 2014 27RKS. We towed through Nebraska, North/South Dakota, Idaho, Utah and then back through the central mid-west on our Trailer Kings. We maintained 65 PSI and never over 65 MPH. When we returned home, the tires looked great, inspections never showed a problem.
BUT !!! When I dismounted the tires, two of the four had significant tread separation that was not visible from the exterior, especially when aired up to 65 PSI. Two of my four tires were literally "time bombs waiting to explode". We were very fortunate to have made it home without tire destruction and significant trailer damage.
Like you, with careful inspection and tire maintenance, I was convinced that my Trailer Kings were "good tires for my weight range trailer".... Upon taking them off, I found out that in reality, I was very, VERY lucky to have an undamaged trailer. Don't let exterior appearances fool you !!!!!
