“2018 Volkswagen GTI s. Was actually leaving my house on the way to the dealer for an unrelated issue. As I was leaving my house, driving at like 10-15 MPH on my street. My TPMS light comes on saying I have low pressure. I stop immediately to check to see. My rear driver tire had a huge sidewall bulge and you could see the bead sitting on the rim lip. This was within less the 400 miles of the vehicle being on the road. I had not hit any potholes or anything just smooth pavement went it happened(or ever). I put the spare and continued to the dealer. It was replaced with a new tire. …”
