I've only had 2 Tire Blowouts in 20 years and they were Recaps.
Used to Run Steers & Drives, 100-105. Trailers 95-100.
NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS.
Truck Tire Manufacturer (forgot their name) in Southern California stated "Tires at 20% low (from sidewall max pressure) are FLAT"!
I've aired up a few Trailer Tires from 45 p.s.i. to 95 and yes they could have exploded.
It WAS a "lot more fun" airing up Tires in 35-45 degrees with a nice Arctic style "breeze"!
CHEERS!!
Why trailers almost always have auto inflate on tires, but trucks almost never do?

It’s a nice idea but TRAIN drivers on it . I’ve never pulled a trailer with it but I know what that white light up front means . You tell drivers and they say it’s ok it will go out after awhile geez.

A now former terminal manager we had used to always complain about the concrete apron around the barn sucking the air out of trailer tires over weekends. Now with these systems that is, in a manner of speaking, entirely possible.
Last year before the Thanksgiving weekend I checked my tires before I parked and all was well. Monday when I came back to work I found two of them flat. Turns out there was a slow leak that the system could easily keep up with during the course of a normal week, but drained the tires completely over four days off. -
