One problem related to tire bubble has been reported for the 1998 Mercury Mountaineer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Noticed a rocking/rolling motion on smooth pavement. Left rear tire had a bubbled area which had worn and burst a hole in the tire. Steel thread showing. I put the spare on and when got back home I bought 5 new tires . I think I caught the problem just in time to avoid a possible accident. ( dot number: vnhl tire size: p235/75r15 ).
