has a bubble emerging from the edge on the side of it? Anyone know what has caused the bubble? And will this mean i need a new tyre or will repairing be sufficient?
Thanks.

Hi there, you will need to replace this tyre it cannot be repaired. The "bubble" thats appeared on the side wall is known as a "pourus" patch and is a weak part of the rubber wall most probably caused by continually bumping the car up the kerb
over aperiod of time. Replace as soon as poss as its in danger
of having a "blow out". Hope this helps.

The bubble is caused by a separation in the layers of rubber that make up the tire (tyre). The air from inside the tire is being forced into the pocket created by the seperation. The tire is shot.. infact it is dangerous to drive on it. replace the tire as soon as humanly possible.

If you've got a bubble on the sidewall, you're breaking the law whenever you venture onto the Queen's highway until you have it replaced.
For flat tyres, a repair would be adequate, but you aught to get a new 'um. Might be a good idea to replace the opposite tye too.

Repairing will be sufficient just as long it is no longer used as a tyre. Would make a nice planter for flowers in the front garden. Could also be ground-up and used as fertiliser. Keep it green, recycle and buy a new tyre for your car.

OK bubbles on tires are bad they can blow anytime and its not just a normal slow its more like a bang type deal so if you have a full size spare id put it on if not then try finding a local used tire dealer for like 10 $ you can probably get something that will hold you longer than that one don't let it get to big or u'll have some trouble or just go buy one new one

That bubble is where the tire material is thinner than the rest of the tire, and if you have any damage to the side wall of a tire such as a cut, bubble, etc. service personnel will not repair it because it!

Hey, it's only flat on the bottom right? Why waste all the rest of the tire for this one little section. Try some more bubble gum on it.

You should always follow the manufacturer's recommendation for tire inflation, but you could put no more than 32 psi in the tires and still be ok. The higher the pressure... the better the gas mileage......but you also loose ride comfort & this also poses as a safety risk. You should NEVER inflate the tire to the MAX psi of 44.

You could try to put a tube in, but you will be better off getting a new tire. Once they get a bubble in them they are not much good.
