Not sure about the tire part but the wandering rear end sure brings back memories. Have you changed out any of the rear control arms? Mine wewre worn out and the rear end was wagging around like a tail on a dog. Scare the crap out of me a few times. Once I changed the links out and had it aligned, all was better.

I have never seen a tire split at the bead though. I'm with the other guys on tire failure.
