Constant Tire Blowout

Need help trying to figure out my G blowing up tires like it's a joke. Normal driving and had no problems before. I run Falken FK510.

One day my rear passenger tire blew out on me. The area was the inside of tire full separation from sidewall. Cool no biggie, bought new tires, got it mounted and balanced. Also the next day took it to get aligned. 20 miles later driving down the interstate the same side blew the same way as the previous one.

After putting the spare tire and driving back those 20 miles to my house, i noticed the spare losing pressure and the inside warmer the the left side. I stopped multiple times to cool it down since i couldnt afford the spare to blow too. Idk if that is of importance but just throwing it out there just in case.

I am taking to alignment shop again this weekend to make sure.

Does anyone have any ideas why the same side keeps blowing? Thanks in advance.

The pics attached was the first tire, i forgot to take a pic of the new one that blew a few days ago but pretty much looks the same.

Alignment. Accident. Something not right. Need to visually inspect. We can only guess from here.

Yea, thanks. Not sure what could be. Like i said i am taking it to the alignment shop again this weekend. I inspected everywhere within the wheel well and no signs of rubbing anywhere. Also had the vehicle for years and it has never been into an accident.

Check your wheels. Check the alignment. Change tire brands falken is ok I'd get something better to rule it out. I had a brand new falken fail to seal only when turning. Weirdest thing ever. So imperfect tires are a thing. Twice is rare

did you inspect the wheel well area with the wheel mounted on the axle? or did you just inspect the wheel well with the wheel off? more than likely your tire is coming into contact with something on the suspension or wheel well as its rolling down the road.

Yes i inspected everything. I have air suspension and i tried even different heights. The vehicle was on a lift to inspect better. There was nothing we can see rubbing on it. Hopefully it was just bad luck and pure coincidence because theres no other thing i can think of.

How old are the tires?
Did you check the date codes on the tires?
Incorrect tire size?
Defective rim?

From the pictures it looks like something is rubbing. The sidewall looks like it got so hot that it melted and caught on something.

You running excessive camber?

Invest in an aftermarket tire pressure monitoring system (e.g. Orange) so you can keep a constant watch on the pressures of all four wheels at once. That's what I have since I'm always paranoid about losing air and ruining my wheels.
