Pulled over, did not notice damage to the wheel/ tire and continued driving until arrived at home without tire pressure monitoring activation. Upon inspection of the front driver side tire, noticed an approximatelly a 3 inch long bubble on the side wall of the tire. Following monday, brought the car to the good year shop for inspection after opening up a case via the 800 number with goodyear. …”
