Bubbles in my tire... is there a warranty?

I have a set of Kumho Ecsta 712 tires. I only have a problem with the passenger side front tire. There are 3 bubbles in there. Is there a warranty with these tires? Thanks.

Warranty my ass. They will blame potholes. I already needed to replace 2 of them. Another user replaced 3!!! When I tried to get warranty on them, they gave me all this bs about potholes and stuff. Try it anyways, you might get lucky.

I just got off the phone with the guy and he did blame it on potholes, etc... Its a bunch of BS but i guess i don't have any other choice. Do you guys think it will be safe to drive on? I still have to get home from work.

Well, with 3 bubbles, it sounds pretty dangerous. You should put the spare on to get home from work...

I would put the spare on b/c 3 bubbles on one tire is pretty dangerous to drive on. Call AAA to do it for you, if you have them.
If you do drive on them stay away from the highway. I think you should go back to the tire store and demand a replacement for that one tire. Best of luck.

$0.02 -->

If you hit a big pothole fast enough, just about any tire will bubble.

IMO -- A good road hazzard warranty is worth it if you live in pothole city
