1995 Mazda 626 Tires & wheels Problems

1. TIRES MAKE A LOUD "WHUMP WHUMP WHUMP" SOUND THAT INCREASE SPEED AND VOLUME AS THE CAR ACCELERATES. 2. THE NOISE IS TIRE SEPARATION, THE NOISE IS CONSTANT AND CONTINUALLY GETTING LOUDER. THE TIRES HAVE NOT ACTUALLY COMPLETELY SHREDDED APART YET. 3. WE HAVE REPLACED BOTH CV BOOTS, BOTH HALF SHAFTS, CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS, HAD BRAKES INSPECTED, HAD AN ALIGNMENT DONE AND NOISE REMAINS THE SAME. *TR

I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT 4 YOKOHAMA TIRES IN 8/98 FROM SEARS/NTB @ MILEAGE OF 106780. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS A TINY CRACK AT OUTER EDGE OF TREAD (MILEAGE APPROX. 141500). SEARS/NTBSTATED THE TIRE COULD NOT BE FIXED AND I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW YOKOHAMA TIRE (ON 7/19/99 - MILEAGE 141594). AT MILEAGE OF 153128, I WAS ADVISED BY MY MAZDA SERVICE ADVISOR, DURING A MAINTENANCE CHECK THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES WERE SHOWING CORDS. EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A WARRENTY OF 60,000 MILES (AND I ALREADY HAD A NEWER TIRE), I WAS ADVISED BY SEARS/NTB TO REPLACE THE REMAINING 3. I PURCHASED THE 3 NEW YOKOHAMA TIRES FROM THEM. THE MILEAGE WAS AT 153284. ON 3/23/00, MY RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET. THE TIRE HAD A TINY CRACK ON THE OUTER EDGE OF THE TREAD. AGAIN, I WAS ADVISED BY SEARS/NTB THAT THE TIRE COULD NOT BE FIXED. MILEAGE WAS 162292. IT SEEMS UNUSUAL THAT I HAVE HAD SO PROBLEMS WITH THE YOKOHAMA TIRES. I SUSPECT THAT THERE MAY BE A DEFECT, WHICH IS WHY I AM FILING MY COMPLAINT. I ALSO HAVE ALL MY DOCUMENTATION IF YOU NEED IT. *AK( DOT NUMBER: 5229 TIRE SIZE: P19565H14 )

MY 1995 MAZDA 626 CALLS FOR ONLY 26 PSI AIR PRESSURE IN ITS REAR TIRES. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN EXTREMELY LOW AIR PRESSURE. ON A RECENT TRIP TO A HIGH ALTITUDE AREA (NEW MEXICO) THE TIRE PRESSURE IN THE REARS INDICATED LESS THAN 20PSI COLD. IS THIS AIR PRESSURE TOO LOW AND UNSAFE?
