The right rear tire has a bubble on the sidewall. Firestone does not have available size to replace it and sent me home with it that way, which i thought rather careless. Furthermore, i have replace 2 tires, and nassar ford replaced one tire. In the short amount of time i have owned the car, i have had 5 flats. Needless to say i have no confidence driving and firestone has offered no viable solution. Dt
