Just cleaned the MDX today and dressed the tires. I noticed my left rear tire had a bulge of approximately 1/8"h by 1/2"w that was about 3 " long on the sidewall, extending from near the tread in a straight line towards the axle.

I just wanted to note this problem here, as Acura says it is a Goodyear problem, and Goodyear (so far) says that I hit a pothole or something and has yet to determine whether it is a warranty item. I don't recall ever hitting anything with my baby, and the Acura service guy noted that he saw no collateral damage (ie. rim, etc) which may indicate that it is indeed a tire problem.

I will keep the forum posted on how this is handled. If you have a similar experience, I encourage you to let us know...

Thanks for the info, ooty!

The local Goodyear guy and I had a good conversation on these tires and the MDX. The Integra is basically a passenger car tire put on an SUV, according to him.

He was equally not-impressed with the Michelins on the Touring.
