1 Tire problem

Failure Date: 04/25/2010

I purchased goodyear eagle LS tires p225/60r16 they now have 25,000 miles on them and are completely bald. Sams club measured the tread at 0/32. Sams offered me a prorated warranty of $35 per tire, I paid $73. (out the door $184 for 2)they were sold to me as a 50000 mile tire, they are under warranty and wore out at half the warranty. Isn't this a faulty tire? I can't afford new tires again and they are very dangerous for me and my children during the rainy season. I tried to email goodyear but the link does not work. Hummm, I bet they know that. Other people on line said they got no where with them. Please help. Shouldn't they have to replace the tire? I see they have many loop holes. How can I get help. I see many complaints on line on this same tire wearing out too early. I don't want to have to check the box that there were deaths or injuries seen below.
