Literally, 140 miles into my 300-mile drive home from delivery, I unavoidably hit a pothole and bubbled the left front tire. I had to spend $450 to replace it the next day.

I am not unhappy with the Bridgestone’s, but if I get more than 10k miles out of them, I will be shocked. At that point I will likely replace them with Michelin non-runflats.
As much as I am a fan of Michelin, don't expect too many more miles out of them than your Bridgestone's. It's the trade off between sticky soft summer softies and lifecycle. They wear fast, but man do they perform.
