Same here, Last two trailers, 16K and a 17K both have the 16 ply solid steel with iron liners, tires...
Gave the dumper a workout yesterday. carrying 12,000 of #57 creek stone. Total weight, !6,200 trailer and cargo. Pulled that with the D-max.

Yup, a fan of the Kaufman trailers and the minimal $1k upgrade to those axles, tires and wheels.

Deep off road I did the same thing 2ea, and on two different trips I needed them both, one the tire failed and the second was rocks cutting side wall.

Rocks cutting the sidewall is a common issue out this way from shale and sharp granite. i wouldn't go out without one

Sounds Ike you’re already keeping it.
You should have seen the guys wrestle the baseball sized rock out of the steel and treads to see how big it actually was. Yes baseball sized. Three grown men to remove. Lol
That needs a new tire as they’re ain’t no amount of plugs fixin that.
I’ve as well used about a dozen to get out of a bind.
