Had to replace a tire Friday because of "impact bruising" is this real or just something they make up to increase business?

Looks like the "impact tire bruising" is the same thing as a "bubble" in your tire..if that's the case I would of replaced it...Did you check to see if there really was "one"? I hope you just don't listen to whatever tech tells you and just pay them without actually showing you.

How old is the tire? It could be caused by under-inflation and tire impacts (hitting/going up a curb on acccident..running over potholes often etc etc)..or it could possible be a defect.

50min car wash..I think that's the fastest I've washed/dry/vacuum my car..doesn't 100% meet my standards but better then looking at water spots! No half azz wash either.

i think it would look better with the top of the wheels showing and the most of the tire tucked? i like low but that just looks awkward.
