well
it could be a bunch of things. for example, if there are bubbles developed either too much air in there or not enough and the heat done flexed it. whoever mounted and balanced the tires might have miscalculated measurements. That does suck though

damn mang that sucks...Ima have to check out mines tomarrow when I through on my 25mm spacers. As to what could have caused it I here that it things like that sometimes could be defects in the tire itself. The inner wall of the tire separates and thth bubble appears..kinda like intestinal hernia

Severe impact (potholes) can cause that. If you notice a bubble on the outside wall of your tire, don't chance it, it will blow. If you feel vibrations, it may be that the belt has started separating.

^yeah most likely caused by bumps/potholes. I had fk452s on the front of my car and they both had a 2-3 bubbles without many miles on them. hopefully it doesn't happen to the new ones i just mounted

yes, it rides horribly. i had multiple bubbles on both of my driver side wheels as well. the bubbles are fairly noticable.

Same thing happened to me Q today.
Walked up to my car after work and noticed my front pass. tire was low.
Put air in it and I could hear it coming out. Took the wheel off and thats when I saw the tire separating .:sad:
Just glad I noticed it before jumping on the highway.
Time to get a new pair of tires .
