Tire Sidewall problem

I purchased four goodyear tires @ sears in 2009. . Ever since I purchased these tires my truck has had a bounce between 35-40 mph. . . . . I also had the front end aligned on the same day. . . . . I noticed that there are bumps that stick out on the sidewalls and complained about this but was told that that was normal when the tires are manufactured. . . . I have looked at some other tires and do not notice these types of defect on these. . . I have taken my vehicle back at least four times to have the balance checked but still the same problem. . . . And the problem is not addressed. . . I cannot help but think that these bumps on the sidewall are causing the bouncing. . . At the moment these tires have about 8,000 miles on them.
