That trailer tire wouldn't have been on a Burley would it? We had one in our shop that had come really cheap 20" plastic wheels, suppossedly they could handle 35psi but god forbid you try to put that much in! We had two blowouts before we decided that 20psi was about all they could handle.
Also a "Slimed" mountain bike tire makes for an interesting blowout, loud gunshot sound and green goo everywhere!
