Question? What causes a bubble on a tire. I have a very noticable bubble on my so3's :(
I noticed it today while I was cleaning my rims. I don't recall hitting any major potholes.
Tire size 225/40/18 Had them since late august about 20k on the tires. I like these tires so much, quiet, grippy in the dry and wet. Lots of thread left.
I have always maintained the tire pressure at 39 psi. Checked everyday
(lots of free time)
I'm going to get a new set, cause I love these tires that much. Just wanted some insight on the bubble?
thanks, jaime

if you want to get new tires anyway...
check to see if bridgestone will warranty the tire. I just got a warranty replacement from Yokohama because there were multiple bubbles in one of my tires. Of course it is a pro-rated subsidization, but who cares if you're getting new tires anyway. Worth a shot...

Eddie on the causes of bubbles from 6 days ago:
Follow the link, Eddie gives an explanation there.
20k on your S03's, huh? That's really encouraging to hear. I just got mine and I'm really happy with them, so I hope I get a similar lifespan from mine.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/824664.phtml">Stolen from the S4 board...</a></li></ul>

Thanks... seems like me and funkadelic have the same luck :( I had a nail in the other tire too..
I guess I hit something.
As for the 20k, I drive mostly highway miles. And I drive very soft, compared to other audiworld'ers

20K miles from an S-03 and still lots of tread left? How many more miles do you think you can go?
Just curious. I was expecting the tires to be ready for replacement by 20K, but that is encouraging (apart from the bubble of course).
Thanks!
Thanks!
