Need your Wisdom

[Antnee2611]

I have a 2011 rts that I bought brand new last June . My left tire has a bubble on the sidewall. It only has 6600 miles on them. I also have the best warranty. My question is who pays for the tire. I am taking it to the dealership in the am. There telling me it goes by tread wear . I don't feel that's right. Thanks in advanc for the help:banghead:

This is the second sidewall bubble in the last couple of days. Hope we aren't seeing a "Firestone" type of issue in the making.

I think the tire "should" be replaced under warranty, but if it were me and they pro-rated it and the cost was very low, I would probably accept that. But that is just me.

Tires are warranted for the first six months, or until worn to 3/32" in front or 5/32" in back, whichever occurs first. the warranty does not cover road hazard damage, however, or damage from under/over inflation.

tire warranty

No mention of tires in the BEST warranty brochure, tires are usually covered by a seperate warranty from the tire manafacturer. They are usually pro-rated and you are given credit toward a new tire based on the wear left on the old. In this type case however, where there is an obvious manafacturer defect, the pro-rated charge maybe waived.
