Purchased 4 travelstar UN99 205/55R16 91V steel belted radial tires professionally installed. In less than 20 miles of driving, noticed bulge on front driver outer sidewall, driectly above the valve stem. No damage to rim, nothing was run over or hit. Seller of tires was autoplicity refuses to do anything, citing that a bulge on the sidewall usually occurs due to a possible road hazard, improper inflation, excessive load impact, or an installers error and is not covered under the warranty. The seller did not ask for any photos prior to making this decision. We havecontacted amazon.com, whom was the distributor for autoblicity. Should this tire fail, there would be a loss of control due to its location of the front drivers side. This would put both the driver and other persons in the area at risk. This batch of tires needs to be recalled.
