I tow trailers, big and small, have for almost 40 years. I do not think I have ever had a tire failure that was not caused by lack of inflation. I am sure that makes me lucky. You can rub my budda belly for luck if we ever meet if it make s you feel better 
P.S.
I would run on a rim before I used a goodyear tire.

I can no longer say this. I towed a new to me boat from Traverse City, MI to Homosassa, FL. I lost 4 tires on route, finally got tired of on the road problems and replaced them all. It is a dual tandem set up, so 8 tires in use (and 2 spares). They were all properly inflated, apparently all died from age at over 10 years old. 235-85-16's.
