I inspected the tyre this morning and took some photos that have gone off to Michelin. There are 3 or 4 areas with scuff marks on the inside of the tyre, as well as the bulge, which seems strange. The bulge has disappeared because it has been sitting around a while with no weight or pressure on it.

The internal scuffing is likely from the garage or wherever it ended up they probably gave it a wipe down
That last image though does suggest that there isnt any obvious external damage even scuffing on the tyre which would lean credibility to the argument that this wasnt cased by damage and instead is a failure of manufacturing
