I noticed that I have a bubble in one of my tires, I have 7K miles on it, do you think the dealer would replace it for free?

 

happened to me and when i went in for my 10k mile service i told him about it and said that i must have hit a pothole and was wondering if he should check out if the tire needs to be replaced.. after the wait he told me they took it off and replaced it under warrenty cuz they felt bad that the tire lasted so shortly.. so give it a shot, but dont expect it, tires are expensive idk many dealerships that hand them out like that

 

which dealer did you go to? i'm in fort lee NJ

 

If the bubble is from a manufacturing defect, it should be covered by the warranty. If it is from an impact (happens frequently when a low profile tire hits a severe pothole), it won't be, unless the dealer is nice and covers it as "good will".

 

Hopefully theres no dent on your wheels or anything that they can use against you.

 

i went to Westport, CT for my service, kinda far from jersey

 

damn I just called my dealer and they 99% of the time it won't be covered. On top of that it's going to cost around $300 for 1 tire

 

anybody know where i can get a tire for cheap?

 

www.tirerack.com

 

Agreed, and also check out their recommended installer section on the web site, which lists both prices for mounting/balancing as well as customer reviews. I've found that some shops that aren't on the list aren't happy about losing the profit on selling you the tire(s), and charge exorbitant prices for mounting and balancing to compensate.

 

i'm at work, does anyone know the brand and size of the tire? awd250

 

Tire size is
225/45-17

 

what brand?

 

Dunlop SP Sport 5000 M or Bridgestone Potenza RE92

 

All of this info is on the side of the tire.
