That bubble on your tire isn’t just a cosmetic issue.
A tire bubble can be caused by impact damage like hitting a pothole, curb, or other road hazard. This impact can damage the internal cords and create a weak spot in the tire.
Unfortunately, tire bubbles cannot be safely repaired. Once the internal structure is compromised, the tire needs to be replaced.
If you see a bubble, DO NOT keep driving on it. A bubble can fail suddenly and without warning. Have the tire inspected and replaced as soon as possible.
