Default Tire problem

What do you think of general brabber at2 tires. I use to swear by them. Have had them on my truck 1.5 years. 40k miles and in the past 3 weeks. 2 blow outs. I check my truck every Friday. If I'm going on more then a 30 minute drive I check the tire pressure. And I had checked the tire pressure on the drive both of them blew on. Whats your opinion. Here is a pic of both tires

I would not be buying those tires anymore if it were me. One blow out I can see, things happen but two in a row? Thats not acceptable.

I live in eastern pa. It has been no more then 70 today. I'm so frustrated with these tires the when the first one blew I was on my way to work I had checked the tire pressure at the gas station it was at 40psi. Half hr later/ 30 miles down the pa turnpike I'm stuck on the side of the road waiting for the tow truck. The tire also took out my shock it was the pass side rear I had 2 new street tires put on the front and moved the 2 front tires to the rear. They where checked my my local tire shop and the dealer last week. Yesterday I want on a trip to the mall with my wife and 20 month old I checked the tire pressure and it was at 38 when I left the city I get 20 minutes down the highway and the second one want down. This time it was the drivers rear tire Both times I was driving on 4 lane highway doing 65-70mph the first one sucked. Now Im questioning that 4 new ones I just ordered should get put on my truck or refuse them I'm just happy this time there was no damage to the truck. But I will be placing a phone call to customer service in the am

If it was me I probably would NOT be using the brand of tire that failed on me like that especially since it put your family at risk.
