depends on the weather
many times it's not the low profile design but rather air pressure issues ... what tire pressure are you running and how often do you check it?

What size wheel and tires do you have?
Is your car lowered? If it’s lowered it may not be just the low profile tires but it could be the camber adjustment. Or if you are staggered it could be the fact that you can’t rotate them. Or it could be a combination of all I and others have mentioned.
When I was a child when I couldnt stop crying my parents would say "We cant help you if you dont tell us where it hurts."

In addition, you failed to mention your driving habits, which will have an adverse effect on the lifespan of your tires as well as why you needed to replace 5 tires in the first place.
