Description of the problem	Without any accident i noticed a huge bubble on the left side front tire and right front does not hold air. I did not hit any potholes and don't drive fast at all. Contacted dealer as car is under warranty i have only 4600 miles. Dealer refused to change tire for free and refused to consider tire defective. Tires are very bad quality and / ore defective as having new car with 4600 miles should not wear tire to such extend to have bubbles. Dealer claimed that bubbles only happen while car hits hole in the road however such a new tires should withstand normal wear and tear. To have bubble on the car pose danger to my life as having a brand new car i should not be inspecting tires for damage. *nm
