Default This tire still good?

My tire has some kind of buldge in the side of it that I just noticed and not for sure if it is just a defect in the tire or somthing caused it. Im not a tire expert so anyone think its still safe to drive on? They only have about 5-8 thousand miles on them, this is the only one like that. Just a defect from factory maybe? And there Fierce tires by Goodyear btw





If you look closely you can see there is a slight bulge in the tire

I can barely see anything in that pic, you should be fine. Its probably just where the belts overlapped.

I have the same tires no problems though. It might be a rip in the steel belt from running over a big rock or something but it will get bigger and it is not safe to drive on much longer. As the belt rips more the buldge will get bigger then the onlt thing holding it together would be the thread. A defect maybe, here in cali you but low pro's as is but take it back anyways I would.

If that bubble's new, get it replaced. If it's been there since you got the tires, you should have gotten it replaced for free when you had the chance. Either you scraped a curb or it's defective. Had two of them come in today. Keep running it and it'll eventually blow

aight thanks everyone, I might take it to a local tire shop to see what they think as well cause it is kind of hard to see in the pic. I would just get new one but I got them for free because I was sponsored by kelly tires last summer.
