so.. what is it with n4 rated ps2's? i replaced them approx 2500 miles ago and while i do nip the berm of tight corners on occasion i have NEVER knowingly come into contact with ANYthing rt rear, and lo and behold. i have a sizable bubble with what looks like radial steel poking through the sidewall!

wont be driving that for long

so.. anyone want to venture how i will fare with my regular tire dealer/installer when i ***** to them about this "mfg defect" tomorrow? or will be this just be a straightforward "denial of claim" by michelin themselves, once i jump thru their hoops. fkn 500$ tire. 3 months. i'm sure theyll claim i hit something! ( but wouldn't a wheel or sidewall show telltale signs of that!? )

never had this issue with previous 3 or 4 sets of n rated ps2's that quite literally sat around for 5-7 years. no sh*it. my luck this car nickel and dimes me to death at $500-$1000 per nickel and dime

Luckily I still have my 18" twists with tires I was able to run until my issue was fixed. Try a WTB ad. Good luck!
