David,
It has been almost a year since the problem so I am not totally fresh on 
figures, but I run tires at max inflation per the sidewall spec; 65 lbs if memory 
serves right.  I do not have the trailer here to check size, but I believe I 
run 225/15's on that trailer and have and still use rubber valve stems; is this 
an issue?  I can change to metal stems if you think it is.   The first tire 
failed about 20 miles out from home after 700+ run that day, around 11pm so 
under relatively moderate temps (Atlanta, approx June 1, but not especially 
warm).  Trailer not used over summer, then next tire failed mid-sept night less 
than 80 miles out of town on a trip started around 8pm, probably similar to 
slightly cooler ambiant temps.
