So I took my truck to the dealer for an oil change a couple of Saturdays back. All went well and I went home to get our travel trailer to return it to storage. Once at storage, with the trailer still attached, I noticed the driver rear wheel had a bubble in the sidewall. Tires have 25,600 miles. After running my hand around the other three, they have it too, but to a lesser degree.

Long story short, Ford reached out to Goodyear who said they would offer 50% of the costs per tire, leaving me with paying taxes on the entire purchase plus mounting fees at Ford. In other words, they want over $800 for four more tires that I’m less than confident in. I’m pretty sure I’m going to decline and move on.

Have any of you seen anything like it?
 
Yes I’ve seen this before, kinda scary. Bad belt in the sidewall?
 
Might be hard flipping those tires even brand new off of the wheels. That sucks.
 
My 21 had that issue at 14k miles. looked like this? and yea 3 of the 4 tires had it to a small degree.
