My new GY Endurance had 'indent' in the sidewall and after researching found that Indents are normal as @NB Canada said. Bubbles are not normal and are a defect/problem.
And actually they have more than 45 miles. They have the distance from Indiana to Tampa. And at very high highway speeds by the transport. Not to mention going over crappy highway 65 through Nashville and Birminghamm.Mike & Lisa

Yes I'm aware that they towed the trailer from Indiana to Florida. I've been thru Birmingham with the "old" trailer last fall and the Westlake tires and agree that road does suck. But I didn't have any tire damage from that, luckily.
I posted a picture in my last post that I just edited. All 4 tires have similar defects to different degrees. And I can feel the "bump" from the edge of the tread down to the rim.Jay Leonard

Yeah that's not good. This does suck. Especially with GYs not being available.
But, you know GD or Lions Head has a bunch of them because that's what they are putting on the new trailers. Just a matter of getting them to cover them and send you new tires. I would also push for new rims if that bubble was caused by impact.Mike & Lisa

I'd have to see it in person, but that doesn't really look like a bubble to me. But JMO of course.

If tires were installed at factory and then camper delivered to dealer, you will never what tires went through. I sure delivery drivers are not as cautious as us owners are. They want to get camper to dealer ASAP over any road conditions. But that's beside the point; GD should make tires good. You should not except anything but having tires replaced at GDs expense and not yours. I am sure they will make them good unless the company has changed drastically in last couple of years.

Tires do not usually get bubbles on the sidewall. They get then on the tread or where the tread meets the sidewall. It is caused by the belts breaking. Those tires do not have belts in the sidewall.
No offense but I think you have a few tire shops trying to sell you tires.
I find it almost Impossible that all four would fail at the same time.
