Description of the problem	My wife and i own a 2010 kia forte which came with goodyear ls2 tires, size 215-45 17. In the three years and 25,000 miles we have used the car, four of the goodyear tires have developed bubbles in the sidewall. This has resulted in having to replace the four tires. At the time the third one needed replacement, i replaced it with a different tire by another manufacturer. This tire has performed flawlessly on the car with no bubbles whatsoever. Recently, i noticed a new bubble on one of the goodyears still on the car. This tire happens to be one the same side as the replacement tire from another manufacturer. I believe that the goodyear ls2 tires may have a serious defect in the sidewall construction. Resulting in sidewall failure (bubbles) with normal use. I am in the process of replacing the three remaining goodyear tires on the kia with a different brand of tire.
