    Tire bubble

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Bought tires last summer. About 20k miles on the car since. Tire has a front passengers side has a bubble. I have the warranty through Tire Rack and was wondering if I should get all new tires or replace one? Both fronts?
    Suggestions?

    If you replace one, you will need to have Tire Rack shave the tread so it matches the other 3. Just wondering how much tread you actually have on the tires. I rarely get more than 20k miles on UHP summer tires.

    They are just regular all season tires. Not sure if that makes a difference

    You should be fine with one. The couple 32nds difference in tread depth won’t be more than 1-2% difference in overall diameter. If you’re really worried about it have them shave it down a little bit.
