Just wondering if there might be an external factor to the failures.
It does seem that in today's maximum profit mentality, that manufacturers are relying their on former good reputations and cutting corners wherever they can.
Maximum profit trumps pride in quality these days. No the one that blew out was rt frt,the other was lt rear,plus they are diff wheels New

Yes they are Japanese, but for the price they are the best tires I've ever owned. I don't have them on the van now, but have in the past. I have put Yokohamas on two of my wife's cars and they put the OEM Goodyears to shame.

I have set set of BFG's here that have been ran on 4 different vans and trucks in the time I have owed them. They have lasted close to 10 years. They just went on what looks like there final road trip.
IF they needed that much weight that should sent up red flags.. You really have to watch both the sales person/service writer and the actual tire installer these days......
Unfortunately tire dealers (insert name here) rely on consumer ignorance to make a profit
