Exactly 2500# load on each tire. Wow, that's the best balanced weight distribution I've ever heard of!

First thing I would recommend is get real weights, not guesses. Then informed decisions can be made. I do have to say though that it sounds like a bad batch of tires. I would have a hard time trusting the remaining ones.

Bubbles in tubeless tire sidewall is typically caused by 1 of 4 things:
1. Bead torn when tire was mounted, allowing high-pressure after is inflated to enter into the sidewall.
2. Penetration of the tubeless liner allowing air to enter sidewall (nail, or improper repair)
3. A shock rupture which was severe enough to rupture steel cables and weaken the area.
4. Poor quality control of rubber compounding, although this problem
typically shows up very early in the tire's life.
A good, honest tire techbician would have been able to quickly figure out what happened, but IMHO these failures had nothing to do with age.

total weight is 15500 and i can go as high as 18000 GVW back was 10500 front was 5025. tires that blew out were only on rear left and right.
lots of tread left on blown tires thats why they gave me some credit.
4 years ago after first blow out. dealer in florida put made sure all tires were at 110# intill i got it weighed .
just a series of bad luck.

First, tire size and Load Range,
Second, you said you bought the vehicle in Nov 2007 and then said the tires were less than 4 years old. The math doesn't work.

Read the DOT code on the tire and report back. If the MH. is a 2007 and original tires cannot be less than 4 years old.
Have your MH. weighed at each corner.
Replace tires ASAP.
Upgrade to a larger and more weight carrying capacity if possible.

Hi All.
Why would you even bother to ask anyone?. Shouldn't what you have already been though enought to answer this for yourself.
Just asking, but do you bother to weigh your RV from timme to time?
Do you "Cover" your tires when ever your not using your RV?.
Are you using anything on your RV Tires, such as some nice "Shinny Tire Dressings" that might make them go bad so soon?.
Your either way to heavy or you haven't tanken very good care of your RVs Tires. Or you just might have some really bad tires.
I guess we are in the same boat as "Knock On Wood". We have been RV'ers for a little over 45+ years now.
And we have never had a "Flat Tire" or a "Blow-Out", or have ever "Broken Down".
Thats an awful lot of lost tires in such a short amount of time.
We hope you have a lot better luck with a new set of tires. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill

Maybe your pressure gauge is inaccurate?

some people dont read my orginal article .. my signature shows that my mh is a '92 32 footer.
so tires were used when i bought it. they looked good. one after another each orginal tire went bad . plus now the new ones i bought are starting to go... so far 7 total same brand make and model of tire has gone bad.
yes it seems like bad luck. tire dealer comfirms it. if i would have driven on the railroad tracks for 4 years most people would understand this delima.
now i have written to kelly or my problem. i dont expect compensation but hope they reply.
this kelly was on the mh when i bought it used in 07. so i continued to buy the same model tire. mostly warrantee covered a portion of new cost.
hope this clears up stuff.
last time i weighed the mh the total wright was 15500 whick is 2500 # under gwv.
this tire is load rated 3200 # iam under by over 500# each.
