THE PROBLEM AROSE ONE DAY WHEN I WAS AT MY AUNTS HOUSE. MY UNCLE WENT OUT SIDE TO LOOK A MY BRAND NEW CAR, 2005 CELICA AND NOTICED THAT I HAD A BUBBLE IN THE SIDE OF MY TIRE. I TOOK IT UP THE NEXT DAY TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I HAD ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR THREE MONTHS. THE FIRST THING THAT CAME OUT OF THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WAS THAT I HAD TO HAVE HIT SOMETHING. I DO NOT RECALL HITTING ANYTHING, I AM SO CAUTIOUS WITH THIS NEW CAR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE ONLY WAY THIS COULD BE COVERED WAS WITH ROAD HAZARD, WHICH I DID NOT HAVE. I WOULD NOT MIND HAVING TO PAY FOR THE TIRE BUT THEY WEREN'T EVEN WILLING TO TAKE MY TIRE OFF TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE TIRE. I WAS TOLD BY NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS RIDING AROUND IN MY CAR WITH THE CONDITION MY TIRE WAS IN. THE TIRE SIZE (215/45 ZR17). *JB
