Default Tire bulge

Just had the car delivered from out of state, has 10000 miles and I noticed it has a bulge in the driver's side front tire. Will Chrysler replace under warranty? thanks

To my knowledge tires are warranted by the tire manufacturer - not the vehicle manufacturer. Same as batteries.

I've had 2 tires go on me. Tires are warranteed by the tire manufacturer. If they are PS2's you can probably count on your Chysler dealer not to have any. You can probably count on no one local having any either. I've waited close to a week both times for a replacement to arrive. One was covered by warrantee and one was up to me to eat.

Don't drive with it. Had one go at speed and it was trailing smoke before I got it stopped.

Yep, they're ps2's. I may change all 4 tires but use a different brand.

That will probably be cheaper than paying for 1 PS2 at dealership prices.

The Khumo Ecsta SPT's come in at a low $95 for front and $177 for rear. I have no idea if they're any good though.

Just called around and no one stocks the right sizes or types of tire so I'll order from tire rack.

Any idea of what I should look to pay for mount/balance? Some people are saying NTB charges $20 per tire which seems high. Thanks for all the replies so far
