Tires are the most important part of the car, everything you do goes through the tires. I wouldn't

risk it.

they are only going to replace if it's due to a bad tire they made... not a tire you've damaged.

if you hit a pot hole... that isn't Toyos fault!

I've yet to see a bubble from a defect and I've seen my share of tires and defects.

Bubbles are 99% caused by "impact breaks" which is a tear in the inner liner that allows air to escape into the plies of the tires thus creating a bubble. Dangerous to continue driving on such a tire.

Getting tires replaced b/c of a bubble is a kind gesture from the retailer IMO.
