tire bubbles.

I have a bubble on one of my tires. The tire is not that old. Is there anything i can do or is it hopeless and that i should just forget about resolving it?

Replace it asap. You don't want that bulge to get bigger and burst while you are driving.

Replace it. That is now a weak point, and unsafe...

I'm guessing you didn't get the 'insurance' for it? The place near me has a deal, for an extra $10 (I think, it's not that expensive) you get "insurance." If you do *anything* to your tire they'll replace it for another $10. They don't cover tread-wear...regular usage, but if you take a corner too sharp and cut the sidewall, new tire. Hit a pothole and it explodes, new tire.

Call the manufacturer... see if they'll do anything for you.

Ask the place where you bought it...they might take it back and cover it (they'll send it back to the manufacturer).

^^ just get some used tire for now. I am sure, they have decent ones for like 20 at the junk yard or any tire place has some for $30. that price should include mount and balance.
