Michelin lost a 40 year loyal customer when I got a bad set and they did not stand behind them. According to the customer service GIRL they assigned to me, any sidewall separation of the sidewall has to be my fault and never a manufacturing defect. I am certain she has probably seen a rire, but doubt that she ever actually touched one. For my money, hankook. Now have them on everything. Best deal I have found is discounttiredirect on the net. Very good prices, great service and quick shipping

I'm sure you heard the term "impact damage" at some point in the conversation since that is what causes the bubble on the sidewall. I am also guessing the tire never failed. It just developed the bubble on the sidewall caused by the impact break to the inner air chamber layer which allows the air to escape & cause the bubble.
