I have a tire thank god not on my R but on my beater that has a slight "bulge"

its pretty noticable kinda like a tumor on the tire

how concerned should I be about this? thanks alot

The tire should be replaced as soon as possible, as it starting to come apart. A bubble on the sidewall is typically caused by an impact with something (usually a pothole). The belt on the sidewall is broken and air is forcing the sidwall to bulge

I noticed slight vibration at speeds over 100km /h

 

And also don't put too much air in it.. as it heats up the tire will expand and bad things can happen

 

I wouldn't chance driving on it - not even just to the tire shop. I'd swap the spare on, and use that.

Oh, the tire might still be under warranty, maybe they'd cover part of the cost.
