2 Tire Bead problem

Failure Date: 02/20/2010

I had purchased four douglas brand tires from wal-mart model x-trac 2. Over the past two years three (3) of the tires have had sidewall blowouts, two at highway speed, and one while parked. The dot number on the tires are pjx3011r3507. All three blowouts were preceded by a slow air leak that could not be found and all three had a catastrophic failure on a vertical line from the base of the tires tread, on the sidewall, to just above the bead. Also, in all three cases, there was not evidence of cord separation and bulging at the site of failure.
