cant do that

i brought this tire used for $50 last yr off some puerto rican tire shop.

the bubble is on the inside of the tire facing toward the brake pad. so i cant even check on it every day to see if its getting worse of not. it aint really THAT big but u can run ur hand over it and tell its there and u can see it. like how long should i ride on this or should i just keep the tire under inflated.

The answer is don't drive on it. You have an internal tire seperation that is not safe to drive on. If you insist on driving on it know that it could let loose at any time and by doing so you are putting yourself and others at risk.

not true.....most of the time it's what is done to the tire that causes them...might get away with it on a brand new tire or in your case, purchasing power, but not usually..either way, yokohoma won't do **** for an average joe in this case, only if you are a dealer or something.....usually alignment (belts get out of whack and it lets the weak spot or bubble, poke out), or air pressure, or a curb or something sharp hitting it very hard and weakening that spot......there was a guy who wrecked once and knew he had a bad tire (bubble) because he had just been told that by a tire store....so he sued them, but thing was, they had proof they told him and then insurance ended up not paying for anything.....that was funny
