Running the below on my G30 and in the space of a few weeks both front tires have developed a small bulge on the outer wall. I’m assuming it’s happened when hitting potholes but thinking going forward if I switch to a larger profile say 40 or even 35 will that stop it happening again? Or are these particular tyres known for this issue?
I know it’s a bit unlucky but 2 tires in the space of a few weeks developing the same issue makes me think the profile, being runflat and crap roads hasn’t helped.

I’d be interested in seeing how much larger you can go with the profile.

NAZty are you running RFT? If you are okay with carrying a spare and/or tire repair kit around, switching to non-RFT may help with sidewall bubbles and improve your ride.

Those Goodyears are complete junk. I replaced 10 front tires due to sidewall issues in 3 years. I had tire/wheel insurance, so they were all free, but finally got so sick of the headache of having to get new tires I switched to Michelin Pilot Sport 3 ZP at my own expense. (Yes, still runflats - I drive too much to not have that convenience.) Anyway, not a single tire issue in the last 2 years/40k miles since switching. Can't say enough good things about these tires. Get rid of the Goodyears!

I have heard that Goodyear Eagle F1 RFTs are not very good tyres. I drive on Michelin Pilot Sport 3 RFT for about a year. Our roads are far from glass smooth and I´ve had no problem with the tyres. Recommended.
