This is my second set of Kumho's, and the second set to have side bubbles and supposedly belt separation. No such issues with the more expensive Michelins.

I definitely see fuel economy improvements from increased pressure. I'm also convinced that lower priced tires will have issues regardless of air pressure.
I had bubbles on the second set. 2 of the tires. Only problem I ever had in 4 sets
