Narrative:
I [want to] make you aware of a safety related problem with my cirrus sr-22 tires and [inner] tubes. Over the past 2-3 years; I have had 6-7 tire-tube failures. None were related to 'hard landings'. They occurred on all three tire locations. They all involved failure of the [inner] tube. In at least three cases; the tire failure was discovered in the landing sequence. My maintenance provider repaired the tire in three instances. The fixed based operator ( FBO) in ZZZ1repaired the tire and tube on one occasion. [A second FBO] in ZZZ2 repaired the tire once before and they are doing the same now.
