Working in my garage yesterday and I heard a gigantic boom!
This is a brand new tire on a brand new wheel.

Did you jump? I was in a garage once when a tire let go and someone put poop in my pants.

Here's your issue. Trailer tire

I thought trailer tires usually waited until you were 50 miles from anywhere before they blew...

So this was premature?

Did you check the pressure after you bought it? I kinda wonder if it was extremely high.

What @Hickey said, and it looks like it was in the sun where heat could increase that pressure. Still seems like a new tire shouldn't do that. I had an old spare mounted like yours, blow in the HOT summer sun. However, I have never had issues with trailer tires, like some on here. Maybe I'm lucky or maybe I'm a stickler for pressure and age. I've never replaced trailer tires due to lack of tread. I always replace based on age.

look at the overall aspect of the damage - it's kind of a smiley face. That indicates air infiltration into the casing. Air infiltration into the casing comes from the inside, 'high' pressure of the inflated tire. I'd be willing to bet that there is some damage to the bead that allowed some air infiltration into the sidewall. New tire? damaged when it was installed to the wheel. So, when it is removed from the wheel, be careful so you don't damage it but look closely at the bead and you may find some damage. Depending on how many miles you may have driven the 'brand new' tire, you may have a split on the inner liner due to some type of shock - hitting a curb for example.

This tire and wheel has never touched the ground before. literally 3 months old. It's mounted on the tongue of the trailer as a spare. 35 psi.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's a shitty tire. 😁

No doubt. What a steaming pile.

OK, sometimes people say 'brand new' when it is in fact not actually brand new. I still stand by my comments about it being air infiltration due to a compromise of the inner liner. Since it truly is brand new, it was likely damaged when mounted on the rim.

To me it looked like it had a delamination between the inner carcass and the outer radial treads just a garbage tire in my opinion. A defect in the manufacturing process no doubt. I do not believe it was damaged while mounted.
I should have looked at the date code but I dropped it off at the tire shop yesterday in frustration. They're hooking me up with a new better brand tire and just having me pay for mount and balance. I would highly recommend Big O in Bountiful.
