After installing part of the Steeda 'Stop the Hop' kit, I took my '19 Bullitt in for an alignment. Surprisingly, the rear wheels were in spec but the front wheels were slightly off-spec for toe (this car only has 13K miles on it from new, and I haven't hit anything, well, nothing hard). Anyway, the tech got the front wheels in spec but pointed out the RF tire has a slight bubble on the sidewall (see photo; it bulges out about an eighth of an inch). This is more-than-slightly disappointing as the tires are the OEM Michelin PS4/Ses and I've always felt Michelins were the best tires (the A/S3s I put on my '08 Bullitt were better all-around than some of the HP summer tires I tried).
Anyway, I'd appreciate the forum's wisdom on how much of a threat this bubble is (the shop manager said 'Avoid potholes,' but that's next-to-impossible these days). I know the only 'correct' answer is: 'Scrap them all and get 4 new,' and I was planning on replacing the rears, at least, next spring but if Michelin's got quality issues I'll have to reconsider other brands.
TIA.
