i doubt there is a way to fix it and if u have extra money get a new tire... cause it might pop on u IMO.. u can probably get a used tire for like 25-30 $ or buy a new one up to u ...

Change that tire as soon as you can otherwise you can have a pretty bad blowout. I dont recommend driving on it too much if you can avoid doing so.

a bump in a tire is usually caused form a road inpact. like a pothope or those little ywllow reflective bump ****ers in the road, that i ruied many tires on. The sidewall of your tires is weak and the **** inside on the sidewall broke. have it checked out

if the bump is getting bigger as time progresses then get it changed asap. you're just pushing your luck for a blowout.

Every bump or potholes will make it bigger. Soon enough, the tire will blow.

Have you heard the old saying "You're putting your life in jeopardy". That's exactly what you're doing.

hey there, I have the same problem with the a bubble in my driver's side tire. Now I'm thinking of replacing all for of the OEM tires that came with the car. Will Nissan warranty cover it because it looks like there's some good tread left in these tires. But I have no receipt for these. How many years of warranty do these crappy OEM tires have? I don't wanna fork out 300+ for 4 new tires and mounting and balancing.
