Default Tire problem

I recently bought 275/18 nitto 555 extremes and i noticed today that on the rear left tire, there is about a golf ball size bubble forming on the outer wall of the tire. Is this a big problem and should i get a new tire? Im guesing the inner wall has broken and maybe if i call the place i bought them from i can get a new one..who knows.

I would recommend gettin a new tire. If you just bought em, you should be able to get a replacement no problem.

Yea, sounds like a tire bulge. The only reason they might not replace it is because tire bulges are normally caused by hitting a curb, or also known as, your fault.

Thats the thing, i never hit a curb or anything! I just was checking out my tires the other day for no particular reason and i noticed this little bulge, do you think they will replace it for free? I think i bought them off discounttiredirect.com..im going to call them tomorrow regardless.

Sounds like an internal defect from the factory...i'd definately demand a new tire.
