2005 TL (5AT NPN-NAVI) and it has 9,000 miles on it and there is a bubble on the sidewall of passenger side tire. Bridgestone = Firestone and we all know what that means in terms of quality.

I have to get the dealer to change that tire. Terrible part is I'll have one NEW Bridgestone and three older ones

Anybody else experience this?

Thanks,

what i did when I got the bubble is just get that one new tire, and leave it on until the other tires are worn out, then replace all four, or if you want to be picky, just get all four replaced, I'v heard some good things about the Perelli p Zero Neros and the Falken Ziex 512

 

Bummer! This happened to me about this time last year when I hit a hidden pothole. I ended up buying a matching pair in order to have good balance.

 

Or you could just replace one, and put that tire on the rear wheel (if the bubble affected one of the front tires).

But most people will replace at least two.
