Bubble on my sidewall of front tire

Bubble on my sidewall of front tire
I found out my front driver side tire has bubble on side wall. I replaced this tire(OEM:Goodyear) last year, has less than 10k miles. My question is, can I replace only one tire or it has to be both? Someone have told me that it needs to be replace both because both tires have to be in same tread life. Is this true?
I am thinking about ordering tire from either Tirerack or discountedtire.com.. Can I go with different brand for ONE Tire? Or I have to purchase Goodyear again for bubbled tire?? thank you

just replace it with whatever you can find, but make sure they're the same size. with 10k miles, you're not too far into the life of the tire anyway.
If you've got a road hazard guarantee or anything on it, you may be able to get it replaced under warranty or free. call your previous tire dealer about it.

There should be no worries about just replacing one tire.

Just like others mentioned go back to the dealership and see if they will honor a warranty on the tire for you. Never know until you try. Don't drive on the tire with the bubble for too long. It might blow out on you. Get it fixed soon for your own safety.

Heh...
This happened to me just last week. You can only replace the bubbled tire, but make sure you get it rotated to the rear. This way your drivetrain wheels will have equal wear (which is most important).

bubble
Just went through this. Wifes Goodyear on Accord. Brought it back to the place where we bought the tire and they said it was a defect and gave us a new tire for $20.00 (including mounting and balance) They pro-rate(charge only for what you used on the old tire) the tire when figuring how much to charge you for the new one.
So before you pay full price, try to get the dealer to give you a new tire for a pro-rated price. Also, since only 10K miles on the tire, the Accord rides fine with only the one new tire and we did not replace both.
