Tyre Bubble

[TrophyBoy616]

About a week ago i hit a curb turning from a main road into a petrol station, it was dark and i caught my front right almost square on straight up and over the curb!
After driving 200 miles down to the south west i noticedi had a small tyre bubble developing on the front right sidewall (half way up) its not huge and i couldnt find anywhere to replace it on saturday so i made the same 200 mile journey back today with no problems. Is this gonna blow any second or could it be ok until i can get 2 new front tyres delivered?

Should be replaced asap really as the tyre wall has been weakend .

I wouldn't fancy driving it, if it had a bulge.

I wouldnt be driving over 30mph with a tyre with a bulge in it. And only then to get it replaced.

well i think i did over 4 times that speed with it but that was before i realised. It is only a very small bulge

Small bulges have a habit of blowing out even bigger. Act ASAP and get the rim checked for any buckling.

 

[TrophyBoy616]

how do you check for buckling? I didnt hit the curb that hard! You think i may need a new alloy?

Tyre fitters will be able to check the wheel is as round as possible.
