Question *** BMW 545i Tire Help ***

I rolled the fenders for my 2005 BMW 545i, and I did an alignment when I bought new Falken FK452 tires 285-25-20

I drove only 10K miles, and one of my rear tire needs to be replaced now. The inside part of the tire split and it doesn't hold air anymore.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

This has been happening for my rear tires more than once. I already replaced both rear tires less than 10K miles ago.

abnormally fast tire wear points to either worn suspension components or an alignment issue. check the suspension for loose ball joints and sloppy bushings, and if that all checks out have the alignment checked out.
