| Description of the problem | I noticed 1 of the original tires that came on my new subaru legacy had a sidewall bulge. When looking at the wheel you could not see any makes to indicate i hit a pot hole or curb. About a month later i noticed another tire had the same issue. The dealership looked at the first tire and offered to replace it for free since it was under warranty when i reported it. Unfortunately when i saw the second tire the warranty had lapsed. While waiting for the tires to come in i did notice one of the bulges had doubled in size. In the time i saw it for the first time and replacing it i put no more than 300 miles on the car. |
