Sure sounds like non radial rims, among other things.

> I've had 2 problems with wheels/tires. First one the rim cracked and caused
> the tire to blowout on the right front. The tire was a D rated radial
> purchased from DISCOUNT TIRE and was alittle over 1 year old. Second problem
> occurred when the left front tire of the same type as above began losing air
> on a return trip from central CA. Made it home and discovered another crack
> in the left front rim. The tire was about 18 months old. Ted Stier '73
