Bridgestone Potenza S001 and bubbles

LuisBoston · 06-05-2018, 12:32 PM

Anyone with these in a major city with poor roads experience bubbles?
How are these holding up?

Boston here.

Yes they bubble, known problem

Toronto roads are really bad - I'm currently on my 3rd summer season and have yet to experience a bubble, I've hit a few nasty holes but they haven't been bad enough to cause a bubble yet *knocks on wood*.

I replaced Bridgestone Potenza S001 tires after about $23K miles. No bubbles - but the ride was too harsh and noisy.

I have a bubble on the S001 for each pothole I hit.
