I have never heard of Kelly tires. There has to be some sort of warranty for that. Probably not full replacement.

definitely take it to the dealer and have them look at it. That could be an unsafe situation

They're a subsidiary of Goodyear. I ran a set of all-terrains from them on my Tacoma and didn't have any complaints. Used to be only in limited markets as they were strictly sold in retail locations. I still don't think they're available online, but you can find em in more and more places.

A bubble normally occurs from hitting a pot hole. When the tire impacts it causes a small slice on the inside of the sidewall. The air pushing against the cut now causes a bubble to appear. Most companies consider these road hazards. It's normally not covered. They should be able to take the wheel off and examine the tire to tell.

It depends on what you call a bubble, a picture would be worth a thousand words here.
