My Ride: 2008 550i M-Tech Sport Package, Carbon Black, Black/Anthracite Bamboo
Default

Just bought a set of Pilot Super Sports and now that the snow seems to be gone, time to throw them on and put away the lame winters. Not on for a even week and bam, hit a pot hole. Luckily no damage to the suspension or wheel that was just straightened and refinished, just a big bubble in the side wall. Wondering if it's worth getting a new one. Doubt it's covered under warranty.

By the way, extremely happy with the PSS's for 102 miles I put on them. Great grip, response and comfort so far.

Side wall has been compromised. Overtime, integrity of the sidewall will diminish (if it hasn't already). It would be safer to get a new tire...

I'm hoping the tire dealer that you bought it from could probably cut you a deal for a new one, since you just bought a new set.
