Maybe you need speed rated tires? I bet most bike tires aren't rated for continuous highway speeds, or maybe just the ones you have. I have seen bikes go pretty fast, but they usually don't hold that speed for long periods of time.

No, the tire blew while sitting, just like the two before it. I think there is a spur or thorn in the sidewall somewhere.
