Tire Bead Problems of Toyota Camry

I bought this set of tires new from sams club on 10/28/2023. On 12/16/2023 a tpms warning light came on so I added air. Then three days the light came on and I added air again, and so on, and so on until 12/28/2023 I took it back to sams club and they replaced the tire with another tire of the same brand and type, and said it was a manufacturing defect. About a month later on 1/31/2024 the tpms light came back on, so I added air and took it back to sams club to have it checked. They said it had a "hole" and they fixed it and put it back on. Then on 2/27/2024 the tpms light came on and I added air and soaped all the tires and the same tire was leaking around the rim, and another tire on the rear driver side was bubbling around the rim. I compared the pictures to verify that the leaks were on different locations on the wheel, but the same location on the tire. In total, I've had three of these tires leak around the rim; two from the set I purchased on 10/28/2023, and one that they put on 12/28/2023 to replace the first tire that leaked. I spoke with a manager at sams club this morning and they're replacing the set with a different brand that matches what came with the car from the factory. I have pictures of all three leaks, and the last two tire codes.

Bridgestone driveguard tires are extremely susceptible to sidewall damage from potholes! I have 225 45 18 tires on my 2012 Camry. This is the fourth tire I've had the sidewall fail the exact same way since buying them 2 years ago. This time it was while pulling up to a stop sign at maybe 20 mph. Every time there is a 3 to 4 inch cut along the bead of the tire through the cords. I work for firestone and have seen the same pattern many times on various car, not paying attention to size. It is perfectly clear to me these tires are unsafe for real world use.
