Goodyear Eagle rsa 205/55R16. During a routine inspection and oil service on my Jetta the technicians discovered tread bubbles in 2 of my tires. I had the mechanic put both tires with bubbles on the rear for safety and I drove the car to a Goodyear tire center. They inspected the tires for me and verified the bubbles in the tread. Goodyear tire center then contacted Goodyear corporate for me. The tires are less than 5 years old and the car is drven about 1,000 miles per month. Goodyear said that they would only give $20 off the cost of new tires. I still have more than half the life of the tires left. I feel like they should replace them with new tires because this was a manufacturer defect. The techs at Goodyear said that the steel windings have failed and caused the air to expand the rubber in that area.

Tires are Michelin Pilot hx mxm4, radial xse 225/45 R17 91H original tires from date of purchase 8//10 with actual mileage 14829, for the exception of 1 tire, that was replaced on 9//10 do to road hazard. Presently all 4 tires are showing a sidewall defect. There is a fault, a crack line that runs along a manufacture groove line that separates the tread from the side wall, this is common on all 4 tires, but with differences of severity in each tire. The front driver side tire caught my eye because of the 1/8 inch crack that is exposing the carcass/or cables when looked at closely.
