I dropped off one of my PP rear tires at a local Firestone shop to remove a small nail in the center tread. The tire was holding pressure (32 psi) with no other obvious issues. The shop called and asked if I drove the tire flat, which I hadn't, when I asked why they told me the inner sidewall has "belt damage."
The pics show what I found when I picked up the tire. I'm trying to figure out how the heck that happened! Four blisters, evenly spaced apart and 180 degrees apart. It was fine at 8am and blowing up by 2. The manager refused to even consider it was caused by the shop. Anyone else have bubbles show up?
No warranty either, I bought these two years ago from a friend who upgraded his PP GT. He had ~1K miles on them and I put another 2K on them.
Guess it's time to start shopping for those michelin pilot super sports.
