Description of the problem | A large bulge developed on the inside sidewall of the tire, but it did not deflate. It had to be replaced. The agent at the lincoln dealer in san antonio, tx told us these tires were only good for 20,000 miles and recommended we have them all replaced. He sold us a michelin tire to replace the damaged one. These tires have now all been recalled and we got the remainming 4 replaced without charge.
