The separation/bulge or the low air pressure.

Is a $350 tire a gamble you are willing to take?

It’s got 65PSI in it. Door says 60 front 70 rear when cold.

Not a if, but a when... esp in the summer heat

Do it as soon as you can

Drive slow to the shop that sold you that tire. That tire does not fit YOUR way of going. Your boat trailer and vehicles always appear perfect. Get rid of that tire.

Blowouts and accidents aren’t my way of going either.

Replace it. Tire shop will pro-rate the warranty, unless you have a hazard warranty (it will likely be replaced for free).

I wouldn't gamble it. I'm not one to push it on tires, too much at stake riding on 4 little contact patches

What do the tires and wheels say for max pressure? A quick way to get a tire to look like that is to over inflate it and drive on it. The manufacturer recommendations are for factory tires (or their equivalent) on factory wheels. Most wheels won't have a pressure restriction but low profile tires are rarely 70 PSI or above tires. I'm betting those tires say max of 60 PSI.

I always heard the dents are okay, the ones that stick out aren't.

Ordered these Bridgestones and they’re installing them tomorrow. We’ll see if Goodyear refunds me in full as this is the 3rd separated set in 2 years and two different models.

Looks like belt separation from improper rotation of radial tires,
or running tires low on air pressure, an over torquing the sidewall.

Read above. 2,800 miles, stock inflation per door and not overloaded. It’s a highway cruiser. That’s it.

What are the two weird lines running around the sidewall?

also your rim looks bent where the bubble is? ( might be tire)

Alright let’s see how these do. Discount tire, per Goodyear approval, refunded me in full for my wranglers they just took off. So far I like the look and ride of these Bridgestones.
