Hey John, is there a corresponding bubble on the inside of the tire as well? If there are bubbles on the inside and outside at the same spot, that is a ply-gap condition and is a defect in the tire. If there is only a bubble on the inside or outside, then it is considered a road hazard. Sorry to hear about your trouble with that set of tires.

Sounds strange he would not sell road hazard for that set of tires. Most tire stores are very aggressive on road hazard sales.

Notice that there is not one mark on the wheels.

Thomas, no they would not sell "Road Hazard" with this set this time, but I have in previous purchases with him, maybe it has to do with him not being an authorized Michelin dealer anymore and the fact that I buy other brands from him, what gets me is he has Michelin signs, Michelin Man cardboard cutouts, Michelin tires on display, maybe I am wrong, but I feel if someone does not have an authorized account, they should not have items on display to look like one who is.

Crisis3, I feel as I hijacked your thread, I hope not.
