Tires: bubble, yokohama tires, best bet


Question
i recently bought yokohama tires and found that i had a bubble in one of the tires within 30 km. there was a defect in the chafer of the tire in the area of the bubble. is it a defect that can be constituted to be a manufacturing defect? what are my options as to replacement by the company? is it common to have this defect in yokohama tires?

Answer
Vkram,

I'm a liitle confused.

If you know it is a "defect", then it's a "manufacturing defect".  However, if it is caused by something else, it's not a "defect", it's a "condition" with an assignable cause.

I'm guessing from the way you worded your question that you don't know what it is, so your best bet is to return the tire to where you purchased it and they will tell you what to do.
