My tire has a bubble on the edge, say about less than an inch followed by another bubble that is smaller, my question is is this bad while driving? I've driven it 200 miles the other day on a tirp up north and it seemed fine, but was just wondering if anyone can elaborate, or if anyone has ever had this problem before...thanks

 

that bubble is usually caused by u rubbing the tire against a curb. might want to get that looked at by a tire shop, with time the bubble will grow and may blow

 

tire shop can't not fix a cupped/bubble on the sidewall, it's caused the budge because of under steel cable/nylon structural mesh is damaged.

have it changed out asap, when that things pop, the whole donut will blew out.
I think you will know what happend if that happens on the freeway.

most of the time it's from parallel parking, curbing wheel on hill, hitting the concret parking stopper and over pumped tire pressure

 

ya bro driving around with a bubble on your tire is dangerous, change it asap

 

yeah man change that tire NOW...i had a blow out with my 1986 camry a long time ago...luckly for me i was just taking off from a green light...i ended up having to get new rims aswell. the blow out damaged my rim...

 

ok thanks guys...I will fix as soon as I get some $

(If they believe it's defective instead of damaged.)

The only thing that bubble can do is get bigger & then blow out.

What he said....

 

can also be done if the place who installed your tire damaged the tire in the process. we had one come back yesterday at work that the installer damaged the tire.

the tire blew out on the customer, but luckily she was only moving slowly.

etierh way, replace that tire asap

Don't take chances like that. Replace a bubbly tire.

 

No bubbly tire = bubbly person, and everybody likes bubbly persons!
