Tire Tread/belt Problems of Volvo V70

225/55r 95h on the highway in center lane going 70mph. Car was starting to shake and then heard loud noise coming from the back. Next thing the tire blew. Tread ripped off the bumper, side rear panel, taillight and trim under the door. We were lucky to be able to pull over to the shoulder. We had to get a flat bed tow back home. Took the tire to the goodyear place where we had purchased the tires. There was 12000 mile on the tires. We purchased a new tire. Driving home there was the same shake. Went back to the tire place and they put the passenger rear tire on the front passenger side to see if it was truly the tire. Yes it was, so we purchased 3 new goodyear tires, the same ones that was replaced from flat. The goodyer guy told us to send the tire to goodyear, because it felt it was defected. Maybe they would pay the over $5000. 00 to repair our car. He told me that they have had a lot of problems with that tire. Goodyear sent a certified letter to us stating " tire condition occured as a result of substantial impact causing overdeflection of the tire and fracture of sidewall rubber and/or fabric plies and/or liner material". They will not pay. If we had hit something substantial we would not be here today. There were not warning light or messages prior to the blowout.

I have a leased 2001 Volvo V70 t5 that wears through tires every 3 to 5 thousand miles. I am tired of having to drive on bald tires and have asked Volvo to allow me to terminated the lease. They refused my request claiming the problem is the tires not the car. I disagree with them. This is a very serious safety issue with this car the choose to ignore. Could you please provide any help to get this problem resolved.
