Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At 31700 miles i noticed a bulge in the sidewall of the left front tire. i replaced both front tires with the identical brand. at 41239 miles, i again noticed a large bulge in the left front tire in the sidewall. i again will have the tires replaced before i have a blow-out. i have read other reviews on this tire and it seems many others have experienced the same problem. it could be quite hazardous if i didn't catch the problem before driving at highway speeds. *ak (tiresize: p205 55 16)( dot number: tire size: p205 55 16 )
