It's a model year 2011 Montana 3665RE not sure of production date I ran 65lbs Thsy looked like almost new tires
Your trailer has a GVWR of 15545# and is setting on two 6750# GAWR axles. Your OEM (LRE) tires were marginal to start with, why would you inflate them 400# below maximum pressures? Do you know that makes them equal to a LRD. At 3000# per tire you didn't even enough load capacity to carry your trailer completely unloaded. Your tire failures were written in the sand.

Low tire inflation pressures and loss of tire inflation pressures are the number one causes of all early tire failures.

Have they derated the axles on the newer Montana fifth wheels ? I have 2008 3400RL . It has 7000 GAWR axles ,and a 15500 GVWR .
Here is a picture I took of a Montana 3400 certification label at a RV show this year.

They no longer make the 3400, must of been a different model. As I said they must have changed the axle ratings my certification label reads as stated above , 7000 GAWR on the axles and 15500 GVWR. I guess the new ones can carry more weight on less axles.
