Default blisters on tire

Default Wow. Any evidence of impact?

When you dismout the tire look in the inside for evidence that the sidewall touched (it'll be obvious). If there's not impact that's a defect!

Tire warranty!!!

no pothole or curb or whatever. the rim is intact on both inner and outer sides, no dent, nada. i know personaly every pothole in NYC (we've been introduced when i was driving my former truck :-D) and i make sure to drive around them.

Probably a defect then. Go after tire warranty if not cause by impact or running flat.
