Blistering Sidewalls

Kid Eh · 04-17-2009, 07:26 PM

I noticed today that my front passenger tire has about 4 blisters on the sidewall. I guess that's what you call them. Could these be caused by hitting potholes? I can't think of any other way I could have got them. Also is it bad to keep driving with that tire? The tires are Goodyear F-1's. Thanks in advance.

Yes bubbles. Some the size of a dime and some a quarter.

I think it's absolute BS that posts get moved sometimes. I posted this in the general section because I wanted responses from the masses. Now the only people that will see it are those coming into the tire forum. Sorry but some of these moderators are out to lunch and just move shit because they can. Thanks a lot.

If everyone posted in the general section to get the most attention then this place would be an utter mess. I don't mean to sound like an ass but we have sub-sections for a reason, especially when the topic is as focused as this one.

As for the bubbles in your tire, given the roads we have in this city I'm honestly not surprised. I bent 3 rims last year... just have to be really really careful. I agree with BillLee in that you should change it for a new one.
