Tire Valve Problems of Mitsubishi Montero Sport

Tires purchase new, maintained well with approx 25k miles of wear. With no notice, had a tread separation on front right tire. Took to dealer and it was replaced with only a partial credit for warranty. Other tires were inspected and told it was a fluke. Approximately one month later, was pulling off freeway at about 50mph and left rear tire exploded and ripped fender off of SUV. No notice of wear prior to this incident. Witness driver pulled over and told me that his wife noticed a huge bubble in the tire right before the tread fell apart. Took to dealer again and they said in effect, "so sad, too bad" but I must be unlucky and the other two tires still "look" good. Tire replaced. Now, same day third tire is loosing air-no nails, good seal, good valve. I expect it to blow up soon as well. I cannot afford to purchase anymore tires. I hope that I am alive by the time I can afford to replace the remaining two tires. I am astonished that these have not been recalled or that the mftr is not responsible for full replacement. These are not over time noticeable issues, they are immediate failures and life threatening.
