I nicked the curb and now i have a bubble in on of my front tires. It is just under the tred on the side. Should I just ignore it or am i risking a blow out?

 

replace tire asap or it will blow up!

 

You pinched it on a curb or something. Hopefully you bought the road hazard warranty. It could blow but it depends how big the bubble is on how easy it will blow. Safe thing to do is replace it.

 

I've gotten bubbles in my tires before..... What you should also do is check the edge or lip of the rim to make sure it isn't bent. I've flew into a hole with my 3rd gen and got a bubble on my tire, well turns out I also bent a control arm and my rim as well. Anyways, bubbles are dangerous, I've driven on them for weeks though and had the car up at high speeds but I strongly advise against this. Last thing you want to do is to blow out a tire while going 70 mph..... The bubble means that the sidewall or where ever the bubble is located has a busted cable inside which means the tire is screwed. You might also get vibration at high speeds... I suggest getting a replacement ASAP.

 

It COULD blow, therefore, I would probably replace it soon.

 

It happened to my dad and resulted in an accident.

 

i have 1 in my tire and have been drivin on it 4 a year cause im tired of replacing them everytime i hit a ****in pothole.....but i would still suggest changing it!

 

I'm not being snotty, but did you have to ask this question? Clearly, you must replace the tire immediately. You should also have the wheel checked for damage. Have the alignment checked, too, if applicable. Good luck.
