Default 5 tires in 7500miles

New to the forum. I lease a 2017 s3 with low profile pirelli pzero tires. Three front right tires got bubbles. One front left tire sidewall blew out and another i had a tear below the sidewall where the tire touches the outer rim and that tire was one day old. No issues with the rear tires and i always keep the psi at the recommended 44psi. Is anyone else having issues with their tires? Can this be a manufacturer defect or an issue with the cars suspension? I drive very carefully and I’m really confused. 5 tire replacements is alot of money.

Bubbles in sidewalls are very rare in modern tires, so unless you have your steering way way out of alignment or your suspension is virtually collapsed I would Contact Pirrelli USA (not a local tire shop), ask for engineering dept and talk to them about the experience. Manufacturers are very responsible and would want to know if there is a manufacturing issue.
