my front passenger side tire has a lumps about the size of a quarter that bulges out of the side corner of the tire...i think i know the reason why it is there because my parking skills sucks, everytime i park i usually hit the curb up front or back against the curb, not that hard or anything but that happens just about every other time i parallel park...what if anything can be done about that lump or do i have to buy new tires to replace because i don't want it to blow out on me during freeway driving...thanx

 

Get a new tire hommie..chances are much greater of a blow out with a bubble on the side wall..

 

How many miles on it? This could be a defect and good brand tire shops will often give you credit for unused miles. Give it a try and take it back where you bought it. This is ESPECIALLY true if you purchased a road-hazard warranty.

 

I had a the same thing happen to my car.. Twice.. Two different brands- all brand new.. I had road hazzard and then were replaced ( for a small fee).. Get it checked and get some new rubber. Good Luck.

Ah..to honestly, i would say no..well, that depends on where you live too..in california, you better can parallel park before some punk jam their car into the spot

Gotta lose the "park by the rail" habbit, sidewall are the weakest part of radial tire, not to mention, it cant be repair.

 

tittied tires are a regular in nyc damn potholes kill our tires + rims ;\ change it a.s.a.p!

 

Yea, def change that tire you should also change the the coorisponding tire on the opposite side due to the difference in tread where that there would be to just get a new tire

 

these tires came with the car when i bought it 1 and a half year ago and they were brand new...how much do these dunlop s2 cost per side anyway...thanx
