What to do about a bubble in my tire?

Boost Gomez · 07-17-2008, 06:59 PM

I just noticed this small bubble in my tire.. Am I going to have to get it replaced or is there something else that can be done?

Any helpful input would be appreciated, thanks..

I got the evil bubble of doom too... these tires blow but my other ones are still good so I went out and bought a used tire that matched my current tread 85% for about 70 bucks..

No warranty on these things from the stealer. I tried.

look for a used one... i may have one for same if you wanna score it...

I went on ebay and got a set with simillar tread for 100 out the door. Yeah that includes shipping.

Most bubbles are caused from impact damage that causes a tear in the inner liner of the tire. The air then migrates into the sidewall plies. This bubble will grow as more air tries to escape. It will eventually fail and should be replaced.

That true, but now i've been hearing from the dealer its not FREE unless the tire lets off air...

Best thing to do stick a screw in it!
and they'll change it.
