Looks like whatever caused the flat ended up tearing up the sidewall causing the bubbling on the side...ALot of people don't realize that when you run low profile tires and you get flats...the chances of you saving the tire to be repaired are slim to none due to the poor resistance of the sidewalls. Once the tire looses air the sidewalls basically pinch themselves and grind away at the rubber causing the bubbling and what not...t's the price we pay for the baller look! I feel your pain OP, I too f'd up one of my rear T1rs after only 2wks of having them on!

might give the Falken 452's a shot. They aren't quite as grippy as T1R's though.

The ST115's were better to strech.FK452's aren't too good to stretch

thats' stretched?? LOL! friggin Jay...

im running Toyo T1Rs all day with no problems. 235/30 on a 20x9.5 w/ -3.5 camber daily driving LA roads.

also running 255/35 on a 20x11.5 w/ -4.7 camber with no problem except for the tire barely beading.

always make sure you have enough air in your tires.
