“I have replaced 2 contiprocontact 195/45/16 tires on my Fiat 500. Both developed bubbles in the side walls. First on 1/30/2017 at 16119 miles. Second one on 3/22/2017 at 18818. Both were the front wheels and noticed checking tire pressure . Replaced both for safety reasons. Third tire seems to be developing a bubble as well. I am at 19225 miles now. Worried firstly about safety secondly expenses of replacement. All tires are original to car bought new exactly 1 year ago . Thankfully caught before on the road.”
