Blowing out sidewalls

I have been having the worst luck with tires lately.
I the space of a month I blew out 3 tires. Through the sidewalls next to
the bead of the tire.The tires were brand new IRC Metro II slicks.
I just got a new Novara Safari and today I blew out the sidewall
on the rear tire on it.It was the stock tire on it. A Continental touring I think.
Only had about 1000 miles on it.What are some suggestions for good tires that will
not keep blowing out the sidewalls?BTW I''m 6 feet and 240 lbs.And I really don't lug
a lot of gear on my commutes, about 10 lbs maybe.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
