Tire Bead problem

This was not a blizzak lm-25. It was a blizzak lm-60. Twice within a year, I've had my rear tire tread completely separate from the beads, splitting all the way around on the inner and outer sidewalls. The first time was on the passenger rear while driving on the freeway at 75 mph. It blew off and went rolling beside and behind the vehicle off to the right hand shoulder. The car was pulled off the freeway with some damage occurring to the inner tire wheel well. The second time occurred driving down a residential road, after recently exiting the freeway. This time it was the driver's rear. While it separated, I heard and felt it and pulled to the curb. This time there was damage done to the wheel well as well as the body trim the goes from the front to the rear wheel wells beneath the doors. I have pictures.
