2 Tire Bubble problem

Failure Date: 10/20/2013

My 2013 Dodge Dart had a tire with less than 7000 miles on it bubble at the sidewall. This was found by the tire shop that (rightly) refused to re-install the tire. They did not have the model in stock, so I ended up buying 2 new to be safe on the road. Since the dealership determined it was a impact related damage, it is not covered by warranty and there is no road-hazard. The same model tire was recalled by kuhmo last year according to the forums. I do still have the old tire. The rest of the tire looks fine and has not been abused. Their reasoning was that if you cannot see it when deflated, then it was impact related, not manufacturing defect. I can find it either way.
