Body problem #1

There is an open recall for 3 months whereby there is a possibility that wheels are inappropriately specified and not able to carry body weight. My van is constantly have trouble with tires/wheels breaking, ripping within no time. I feel like I’m buying new tires every 1-1. 5 years. It is a constant state of low tire pressure warnings followed by replacing tires. In may 2022, I had an incident where torn/leaking tire was filled with air by mb roadside assurance and incorrectly installed on my van. The result was that the tire flew off my van while in motion. I replaced all 4 tires with a slighter higher load tire because I was so scared by the incident. Less than 3 months later, one of those tires was torn on the interior. Replaced again. Today I am driving and again one of the new tires suddenly indicates dropped pressure to 34 compared to others at 41. I feel that the rapidly deterioration of tires is due improperly indicated weight load.
