I lost two tires within 3 weeks on my 56' Bubble last summer.  Tires were 
expensive, 6 ply radial, name brand and they had been on for about 4 
years and probably had about 2500 miles on them. They didn't blow but 
split and I was made aware of the problem before they blew.  Fortunately 
I carried a spare.   I replaced them with bias ply,  8 ply, Carlisle 
brand,  as I feel these have greater strength.  Best advice I can give 
you for a single axle trailer is to have a spare.
