Tire Bubble Problems of Ford Aerostar

Component #1: right rear passenger tire. . . . I heard a thumping noise and pulled over to check. I found that the tire was failing on the inside causing a very large bubbling effect to occur which in turn was breaking the inner tire wires and pushing the tread out from the body of the tire. When I took it into tire kingdom, so. Us #1, ft. Pierce, I was told that it was cause from uneven outter wear---not!---and that since I had boiught the lower priced tire that that was all I could expect. I had to but a replacement tire. The same thing happened on 4/17/2001 to the driver front tire. Please bear in mind that all four of the tires on this vechicle were bout at the dame time and experience the same wear. I am concerned that this is a serious type of defect in the same vein as the firestone failures and that had I been on the highway I and any passenger could have been killed. The insult to injurt was that "I should expect this kind of failure since I routinely do not purchase any tire other that the lower moderate priced ones. It is my contention that normal wear has to do w/tread wear, not internal failure causing damage.
