I have my Kia Soul 2010 since October 2009. Approximately in March 2010 I saw one of the front hankook tires had a big bubble. Then for about 3 months later; another tire in this case a rear tire had a bubble too. I spoke with maintenance dealer in puerto rico and they told me it was abuse of my part and need to replace them. In August 2010 the third tire; in front had appear with a bubble too. I am driving this car with these 3 tires with bubbles; I fear for my safety and one day one of them could burst in the highway and cause an accident and lost my life. Its weird a tire have this problem.
