Bridgestone Potenza Bubbles
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/BubbledBridgestonePot.jpg"></center><p>I never had anything like this happen to me before... I don't recall hitting anything, and noticed it after a long streach of high speed highway driving (ca. 200mi). Do you think the tire was defective in manufacture? Does anyone else have bubble problems with their potenzas?<p>225QC Blk/Blk

I had a bubble, dealer replaced under warranty...
however, when we discussed this here a few weeks ago, the answer to whether or not it was a warranty claim depends on whether there is a cut on the inside or outside of tire. Cuts indicate impact.
You mileage is definitely gonna vary here. Good luck.<p>Ivan

_a lot_ of us have had bubbles in these tires!
most of them haven't been replaced under warranty.
but some have been lucky. go to a tire place that sells Bridgestones. they can take off the tire and tell you whether it is covered or not. if not, its 250 for a new tire! if its not a defect
its likely oyu hit a pothole. I don't remember
getting my bubble either.<p>Aviator Gray 2000 180TTQC

Mine looked just like this.....
local Brigestone dealer wouldn't even talk about replacement under warranty. Said it was a road hazard or some such thing. I read the warranty. I can't for the life of me figure what IS covered. We should find out how many problem there have been and if appropriate raise a collective fuss.
