Tire Bubble on sidewall (new tires only less than 5k miles)

Hi,

I just saw a tire bubble on the sidewall of my new tires... they are freaking michellin ps2!

I think it was because of heavy rain a few days ago and makes a lot of pot holes on the road and new pot holes = "big kaboom" for me...

Any advice on what should I do? The bubble is on the front right side (passenger)...

That sucks, since those tires are like 300 bucks a pop.

Unfortunately you're going to have to get a new tire.

Not much recourse. You can always try the place you purchased from and get their take. Never know.

I had the same issues with ps2s, bubbles are dangerous and you need to replace it before you have a blowout. If I was going to pay that price for a tire, I dont expect crap like that to happen. Look into hankook tires, they are great and hopefully the price wont rise on them because more and more are buying them. I had ps2s, kumhos and hankook tires. I like the hankooks the best so far
