I agree, It's BS. I've talked to Bridgestone customer service who transferred me to a Tire dealer. Absolutely no warranty. It really ticks me off because I've never done anything to this tire to cause this. It's not my fault whatsoever. So frustrating.

Call Mazda NA...Call the General Manager of the dealership you bought the car at...
usually a buldge isnt a defect in tire!
a buldge can be from the tire hittign a pot hole or a curb or something. the ones that usually bend inward are tire defects! most outer buldges are form somethig happening to the tire? not a defect. so it might have hit somethi gon acciednt to cause it!! (which can be from normal daily driving)

Just wondering how would it bend inward when pressure is pushing outward? I've never heard of that.
I haven't ever hit any bumps/potholes. This car hasn't been off the beaten track, if you know what I mean. I pretty much drive it to work. No potholes. And it's NEVER been curbed.

Umm, no thats not a tire defect. That problem is called an "impact bubble",
from hitting a pothole or something else. And i bet that Bridestone is a very
expensive tire($200+).
Sorry to do this to you but Im just trying to help. I nabbed the bridgestone warranty book from my car. Under the section titled "what this warranty does not cover" it says:
A. Road hazards. Including, without limitation, puncture, cut, impact break, stone drill, bruise, bulge, snag, wheel spinning, etc.
So at least its a no go from Bridgestone, but I would keep riding the dealership on it, good luck.

My husband said to just drive on it. I think he just wants some life insurance money..LOL.
I'm not going to take it on the Interstate or anything and it should be fine for now. I leave for Oahu, HI on Friday and will be gone 4 months so, it's not a real priority. I still have my Escape to drive too, even though it is still misfiring. Oh well, such is life.
