SIDE WALL DEVELOPED A BULGE ON THE APPROXIMATELY THE SIZE OF A HALF DOLLAR. THE BULGE EXTENDED OUT APPROXIMATELY 3/4 OF AN INCH. TOOK THE TIRE TO A LOCAL GOODYEAR DEALER. GOODYEAR REPRESENATIVE LOOKED AT THE TIRE STILL MOUNTED ON THE CAR AND CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO ROAD HAZARD. DEALER DID NOT DISMOUNT THE TIRE OR INVESTIGATING THE ACTUAL FAILURE. WOULD ONLY DO SO IF I PURCHASED A NEW TIRE. CLAIMED IT WAS OBVIOUS ROAD HAZARD BECAUSE THE HUB CAP WOULD HAVE A CORRESPONDING DING. HUBCAP DID NOT HAVE ANY MARKS. STILL CLAIMED IT WAS CAUSED BY A ROAD HAZARD WHERE THE TIRE WAS PINCHED TO ALLOW THE OVERLAPPING MATERIAL TO OPEN UP AND AIR TO SEAP OUT AND CREATE THE BULGE.*AK( DOT NUMBER: M60FBEDR42 TIRE SIZE: 205/55R16 )
