My uncle blows tires every 3-6 months and they aren't cheap ones either. I think its more where and how you drive than anything.

That said I did have a very old spare tire that looked beautiful hit a curb slightly at low speed about 10 miles after that my truck was hopping like a bunny and the tire had a massive undulation.

Most of my troubles have been with belt shift on specific brands of steel belted radials, I do not believe more modern tires do this anymore also certain tires are more age resistant than others, the dealer provided energy savers on the cobalt are already showing weather marks and cracks, that and they are just about bald on the rear (never worried about rear tire condition only front)
