Nokian tire failures

On a trip this weekend we had a Nokian NRW tire go flat and almost had a second one do the same thing. The flat had a 1-1/4 long break in the sidewall about an inch from the rim and 30 degrees to the rim. When we got back one of other NRW's had a bulge and deep crack just like the flat except the break was about 3/4 inch long. The rims were ok so it doesn't appear this was due to a pothole and I don't recall hitting anything. These tires have about 40K miles, are 3.5 years old, and have about .180 inch tread left. Has anyone had the same type failure or some insite to what is going on here?
