So I go and get rig weighted and inflate rear tires to 10% over psi suggested in load and inflation tables.
Driving along and whats that BOOM noise? Got a blow out on the rear. In a miles long construction zone with no exits or place to pull over. Now one tire on one side is way overloaded, on my RV would be about 30% overload.
Question would be how far can I drive on the remaining tire before destroying it or needing to replace?

I have no specific answers to this, but an anecdotal one. We limped a friend's MH about 25mi to town on just an inner once. That inner was certainly very overloaded, and is still in service with a repaired outer several months later.

You will find all kinds of tire engineers right here on this forum.
To answer your question (as a non-engineer), I would replace it ASAP, I wouldn't trust it.

Your tire failure may have been totally unrelated to air pressure. Still, I am curious: how did "10% over psi suggested in load and inflation tables" compare to sidewall max pressure?
35 miles from Normal, IL. As close to normal as I'll ever be.

One tire blow out on a Dual means the other tire was instantly overloaded......damage is done and increases with drive time
No place to safely pull off....then you drive on it until you can safely pull over EVEN if it blows and your on the rim.
Gonna need 2 new tires regardless.
Is it time for your medication or mine?

I tend to agree, I'd personally replace both tires afterwards for peace of mind.

I DID NOT HAVE A TIRE FAILURE. I keep getting told to run tires at much higher pressure in case I get a blow out, makes no sense.

In my mini Toyota sidewall max psi is 65, load and inflation table load range D tire calls for 39 psi, I run 43 and use TPMS.
