Your tire woes don't even approach what I've been through this year.
A pair of S-Works Roubaix's that came stock on my bike - punctured both within 400 miles - LBS tells me no road hazzard warrenty on tires.
Replaced with S-Works Mondos - $120, 3 rides and I punctured my front tire, the LBS gave me a replacement at cost $30
6 blowouts between the front and rear with no apparent reason - the shop kept telling me I was pinching the tubes, so I had them install replacement tubes with the same result. And then I found this:

But the bike shop told me there wasn't a known defect.
I punctured the rear tire on our Thursday night group ride.
The front tire this past thursday
This after replacing about 6 more tubes
Yesterday I cracked and plunked down another $100 for Michelin Pro Race 3's
Tires and tubes are at about $300 for the year.

Last year I got 1700 miles out of a pair of Pro Race 2's with only 2 flats.
Go figure.
