What can cause a bubble in the sidewall of a tire? I checked it out and I didnt run anything over like a nail or anything. How safe is it to drive on? I cant get to work! GRRR!

 

it isn't safe. get it replaced asap. you probably hit a pot hole while you were driving fast.

 

Is it something that can be warentied? These tires are fairly new and still have great tread on them. I am screwed! Cant get to work!!! I tried to change it out but lil ol me isn't strong enough to break the lugs, they were put on with an impact wrench and my boyfriend is at work and cant help! Looks like I'm stayin home for the day.

 

you should be fine for a while...i bet you have kumho's right? i have a bubble in the side of mine now and have been driving on it forever...and i had a buddy that his did the same and he drove on it forever...doesnt seem to be doing anything *knock on wood*

 

Yeah it's a Kumho, it's my second set and I never had a problem with them before... I think the other set may have been different. These are the Ecsta Supra's. I don't know what the deal is but if this is a common occurance then it looks like I wont be buying another set.

 

Kuhmo will NOT warranty that tire. It is called an IMPACT bubble.

 

I don't know what would have caused that. I drive the same roads every day and I think I would have noticed if I hit something hard enough to cause something like that. If other people seem to have the same problem then I would tend to think it's something with the the tire itself.

 

id hate to think that its caused by a weak side wall..i remember a few yrs back all the fords with continetals on them got real bad bubbles after 10k..id have it replace d..if u got them at america s tires and have they re warranty they should be able to do something for u

 

You might be driving the same roads everyday, yes. I do agree with you, but you might have not felt the bump at all.

If you have road hazard, they will replace it. If you dont, they wont.
