XLR 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 8,031 miles
I have a 2004 Cadillac Xlr with 8031 miles. The car has Michelin Pilot zeropressure tires. The sidewalls bubble when you hit a pothole, and I don't mean a big pot hole. I have watched many cars travel through this part of the road and hit the same pot hole I hit without their sidewalls bubbling and having to replace the tires. This happened on the first and only pothole I hit. These tires sell for $415 plus tax. They should hold up at least as well as the $79.99 special which had no damage to their tires.
