On 09/19/2008, my very first state inspection on my brand new vehicle, I was denied a window sticker, and was told that it was because three of my tires had a slight bubble on the sidewall of each. These are the original tires that came with the vehicle that I purchased on 02/29/2008. So I called good year and they told me to take it to a service dealer for inspection of them. I did. The tire company told me that the tires are radial tires, and they normally do have that slight little bulge on them. My position is " what do I really know" I am being pushed back and forth between the two. Maybe the tire company do not want to give new tires, and maybe the inspection station wants to defraud me as he has so many other customers. How do I really know if the tires are defective. Take it to a independent tire company? if I could afford the cost I would because safety is more important. But I don't have the cash to do that. I've searched your data base, and found a recall very close to the type as mine but it is not the exact number tire. So is it really true that radial tires have a natural slight bubble on the sidewall.
