Default Trailer tire failure

All you guys out there pull trailers with your race car on them, right? How do you know when you have a flat? I've had 3 and I only knew about one cause I heard it blow. The other 2 I was told by a passing motorist. My boy found this neat little gadget called a TPMS, tire pressure monitering system. The valve stem caps have little transmitters in them that send the tire pressure and temperature to a receiver that you have in the cab. It sends an alarm when tire pressure drops 3 pds and it tells you which tire. It won't save me from having a flat but it will save me from tearing up a fender when the tire shreds.
