How is this Acura's shitty quality? Acura does not produce it's own wheels and they do not make Michelin tires? My oem acura wheels are made by enkei.

mine are made by michelin on my 2014 rlx what i meant was acura choosing those tires instead of a better model

This is not Acura's fault. It is the fault of your municipality for poor road upkeep. Your anger is better vented toward your city. If you can prove which pothole caused your bubbles, many cities have processes to reimburse people for damaged tires.

I have the stock 19's on my Sport Hybrid and so far, no problems. I had/have 19's stock on my two Cadillac Vs and no problems in six years. This is living in Cleveland, land of the frost heave and pothole.

Tire bubbles are formed on the sidewall as a result of damaged or dislocated internal plys or belts.

Like Neuronbob has said, this is very likely the result of the tires being damaged by going over potholes and sharp bumps at speed.

The bubble will only grow bigger and bigger over time, and may cause tire blowout upon further stress or encounter with more road impacts.

When a bubble appear, the integrity of the tire is compromised, and the damaged tire should be replaced ASAP for safety reason.
