i believe you are talking about bubbles in the tires? if so, yes your tires are done. i had a bubble in one of my tires that also had a nail in it. not really sure what causes them. what tires were they?

haha yeah. the fact that our cars are AWD doesn't help.....

the cheapest way to fix it is to buy a new tire and have it shaved to same tread. it's either that or buy 4 new tires.
