Don't need receipt from what I remember. Take to any Goodyear dealer and they will adjust/replace with a charge for tread wear. Sometimes they will try to gouge you for this though so get a price up front. Have a set of those on my truck, good tires so far.
Good luck trying to get that tire replaced. All they are going to tell you " it is not a factory defect , but a broken cords from you hitting a curb or pothole". So be prepared to pay full price for a new replacement tire.

That is an impact brake. It is under a road hazard if you bought it if not they will pro rate it for you.

yeah that is what we at discount tire call an impact bubble...which i believe only happens if you hit a curb or debris...are you sure no one else drove your car and didnt tell you aka family or gf or someone...discount tire will replace if you have the certs and bought from us bc its under road hazards but if you got them from someone else youre SOL
thats why you should buy your tires from discount tire oh and the certs are def worth it....here is a perfect example of what can happen EASILY
as far as it being a "factory defect" nope...if someone put that tire on your car and balanced it and everything they should have seen it once they aired it up or while balancing it...but YOU NEED TO GET OFF OF IT QUICK bc the bubbles pop and blow out EASILY thats no joke
