Greetings all & happy new one...

About three weeks ago I ate a really bad pothole (after the first snow storm in NY & NJ), yesterday,, while applying gel to my front right I noticed a bubble on the stock brisgestone potenza (right on the 'R'). Since its been about three weeks, and my Max seems to feels fine, is there anything that I show have Nissan check? Could the pothole have caused the bubble?
How concerned should I be, I do a lot of aggressive highway driving?

The pothole was pretty bad, should look (wheels are ok), listen or feel (still aligned and no noticble vibe) for anything out of the ordinary.

It would do no harm to get the wheels and suspension checked by Nissan also get them to check the tracking. As for the bubble on the tyre, it might have been cuased by the pothole, but it would be hard to prove. Either way get it checked by someone who knows about tyres as soon as you can.

I just went through that garbage a few weeks ago with my Potenza RE92 and had to pay $259 to Firestone to get it replaced.
