Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had this car for only slightly more than 6 months, and have had no collisions or other unusual impacts to tires. after only 800 miles of service, my right front tire developed a bulging knot in the sidewall. dealer inspected the tire and could find no indication of "impact" injury so tire was replaced under warranty, as vehicle was only 2 weeks old. now i have discovered 3 more of the tires (lf, rf & rr) have developed similar bulging knots in the sidewall, one of which is the tire that was replaced by the dealer at 800 miles. i drive only on paved city streets, and have never experienced tire failures of this type on any other vehicle that i have owned, so i do not believe that this condition is due to driving conditions.*ak( dot number: dmce22d tire size: 255/40zr17 )
