HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED PRIOR TO GETTING FRONT END ALIGNMENT AT TIRE DISCOUNTERS. THEY NOTICED A BULGE ON THE INSIDE SIDEWALL. KELLY TIRE LESS THAN 30 DAYS OLD. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT THE BULGE WAS FROM SOMEONE HITTING A POT HOLE TO HARD. I THINK THAT IT IS A DEFECTIVE TIRE AND THEY JUST DID NOT WANT TO TAKE CARE OF IT. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL THE TIRE THAT WERE PURCHASED AT A GOODYEAR RETAILER WERE 2NDS WITH KNOWN DEFECTS. I CONTACTED A GOODYEAR RETAILER WHERE I LIVE AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THEM UNLESS I WAS THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER WITH THE RECEIPT. *TR
