Okay, driving with a bubble on the sidewall is so dangerous, it's not even funny. You're like riding with a time bomb.

You need to replace it immediately.

Are you noticing that its only on one tire or is it on all of them? Time to replace those.

I spoke with mytire guy and he said that he recommends putting TOYO Proxy 4 (235/45 17) on my cars. He said to put the TOYO's in the bak and out the best Bridgestone Potenzas in the front. Anybody agree with that!!!

If possible get two new tires and put them in the front of the Maxima. This will help the front traction much better. Better don't drive onthe bubble for too long or risk a blow out.
