Wheels & tires

So far there are 2 tires on my van that have due to the fact that there is good tread all around the tires except for a spot about 3 inches long in the same place on both tires that has worn very thin and the tires separated and blew out.When I saw the first tires I was ready to dimiss it as normal until I inspected the other tires and found the right rear was identical to the front one and the other 2 seem to be doing the same thing.As they are only wearing in one spot I came to the conclusion that it has to be something wrong with the making of the tires themself.Thank you very much.*Ak (dot number: vdvejba488 tiresize: p235/60r15)
