TIRE HAD A BUBBLE ON THE SIDEWALL AFTER DRIVING ONLY 1500 MILES. BRIDGESTONE SAY'S IT'S DUE TO ROADHAZARD. I DON'T RECALL HITTING ANYTHING, BUT I CAN'T RULE IT OUT. BRIDGESTONE HAS NEVER ACTUALLY INSPECTED THE TIRE. LEXUS REPLACED THE TIRE AT A COST OF $285. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT LEXUS, MIKE JACKSON, SAID THERE IS A RISK YOU TAKE FROM DRIVING ON "LOW PROFILE" TIRES. I TOLD HIM IF I KNEW I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE A RISK DRIVING A $31,000 CAR I NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED IT. HE RECOMMENDED I PURCHASE THE SMALLER 16" WHEELS AND TIRES, AT AN ADDITIONAL COST.*AK (TIRESIZE: 215/45ZR17)
