| Bubbles in sidewalls of michelin 245/40r18 michelin pilot hx mxm4 tires. with only 24,000 mi. on these tires they had multiple bubbles or bulges in the inner and outer sidewalls. these bubbles are very dangerous and can burst or be ruptured and cause a blowout at any time. if these bubbles were only on the inner sidewalls, we may never have noticed them. this means that many people are right now riding on tires that may burst at any moment and i consider this a major flaw in these and other low profile tires. this should be a national recall as many of these bubbles are not easily detected and are way too common. the tire manufactures are blaming the consumer for this problem and are knowingly allowing this problem to continue. my local audi dealer showed me a mountain of these defective tires! my tires are available for inspection and michelin is giving me a 50% discount on a new set. *tr | |||
