I just bought my car a month ago put 1,800 miles on it and my friend noticed today that I have a bubble on my front right tire. I have the Bridgestone runflats which come with the sport package... is this a defective tire situation? Can I get this tire replaced at no cost? I need some info before I call my dealer.

No... I dont recall hitting it... I do live in NY and the roads are pretty bad but other than regular driving I cant really say that I hit a huge pot hole and damaged it.
Can anyone give me any info on this being a defective tire situation? I need some ammo before I do call the dealer... I mean I bought the car a month ago and have 1800 miles on it... its not like I have 10-15,000 miles and got a bubble... that would be different.

If you didn't hit it, the tyre has a defect and a bad one.
You're on 18" wheels?
Your profile doesn't tell what wheels and tyres you're have!
That info could help you right now.
Let's hope some other Forum members closer to you can help, soon.
