If your tube destruction is a long slit in the side of the tube, look for possibly having damaged the tire at the bead. Sometimes if the tire lifts off the rim and causes a blowout it will happen again and again at the same position because the tire bead is bent. Only thing to do if this is the case is to replace BOTH tire and tube.
