    Oh yeah I changed the tyre as soon as I saw the first bulge...

    What worries me is are the other tyres going to do the same thing? I can't see anything yet but who knows.

    What brand and size are the tyres? Low profile do not take kindly to reduced pressure.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    On the tyre sidewall see if there is a DOT marking.
    Something like DOT AB 2CDEF 1508.
    The last numbers, 1508, mean the tyre was made in the 15th week of 2008.

    See if all the tyres were made at the same/similar date, if they are try and get the whole lot replaced as the batch may be faulty.

    Since it's a (new?) RRS I would've thought the tyres are probably lowish profile.

    I dropped the trye off at Austral LR for them to look at.

    The tyre profile is 255 / 55 / R18. They're Goodyear Wranglers (Craplers as I prefer).

    I'll check the batch numbers when I get home.
