dont drive on those tires.... i think hankook makes 21" tires now
good luck dealing with Michlen, they are not going to cover it under warranty. PS2s are garbage tires because so many people(on bimmerfest) running 21s on their 7 have got bubbles in the sidewall, including me.

I wouldn't drive them. I also had that problem on my first tires, the RFT Bridgestones. It was very much noticable while driving. Changed to non-rft Falkens, no problems so far!

I would replace it, especially if you do any "spirited driving", whether that's speeds or G forces.
I had a bubble in a new Goodyear F1 tire caused by a big pothole. The tire dealer recommended I replace it. Hazzard insurance really paid off and it only cost $60 for the replacement.

sorry to hear... I had the same problem with my front tire 2 weeks ago, but mine was from a sewage drain that was too sunk in on the freeway 
anyways... I replaced my tire the day after I noticed a bubble in the sidewall... didn't wanna risk damaging any more of the car due to the tire goin out u know...
