re070's

anyone selling a slightly used set or know a place with good pricing?

i got a nail in one of my tires, took it down to get fixed and they said there's a bubble in my sidewall and the tire is unsafe, i should get a new one. i work 7 days a week, so this basically sucks driving around on the spare.

is there possibly some kind of warranty from bridgestone on these?

bubble in the sidewall? ive seen bubbles on the tread....never did see one on the sidewall...sounds kinda fishy...youd be able to see it if you mount the rim and roll it a few rotations using an edge of the tire as a reference and looking for a irregularity.
