1 Tire Bulge problem

Failure Date: 05/21/2010

After scraping a curb and tearing the sidewall of one of the 195/60hr-15 bridgestone potenza re960as pole position tires on my 2000 Volvo S70, I replaced it with the same tire. Seven months and only a few thousand miles later, the replacement tire developed a bulge in the sidewall. Since purchasing the set in March of 2008, this is the third tire I've had to replace due to a sidewall problem. I genuinely believe this to be due to a defect in the sidewall of the tire. I've retained the most recently replaced tire in case the NHTSA desires to inspect it.
