Blowouts or tread separations?
If tread separations, cause is most likely overheating from underinflation or overloading, aggravated by driving on hot roads. A larger time can carry a heavier load, if maintained at maximum inflation, which might help.
Blowouts are usually tire body failures, rupture of the cords or separation of plies, and are the result of damage to the tire (curbside front and outer dual hit a lot of things over a few years) or manufacturing defects, but the latter failures are rare and usually happen early in tire life. The precaution for blowout protection is frequent professional inspection, as the sort of damage leading to catastrophic failure is often visually evident soon after the damaging event, to someone who knows what to look for.
