The sidewall is too thin and thats where the damage to the tire can be seen.

4 Tire Sidewall problem of the 2009 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 12/26/2010

My original equipment bridgestone turanza el-470 tire developed a blister in the sidewall after only 16,803 miles. Fortunately the blister was spotted during a meal break in temple, texas. We were returning home to san antonio from dallas on December 26, 2010. Because of the holiday, the late hour and the unavailability of a replacement we were forced to pay for a hotel room in temple for the night. Had we not spotted the blister, the tire would have likely blown out while we traveled in heavy holiday traffic on ih35, endangering our life and health as well as those around us. The local Honda dealership parts manager explained that Honda eschews any responsibility for the tires which they sell with their automobiles. These tires are clearly defective. There have been numerous complaints concerning premature failure. It is high time for the NHTSA to take action to make Honda and bridgestone correct this.
