Bubble In Tire	Sign In

So, I have a bubble in my sidewall. It is extremely small and you can't even see it. You can only feel it…

I've been driving them for about 10,000 and there is a good bit of trede left… Am I safe to keep driving on it?

If not, should i replace the 2 back tires? Should I have them rotated and drive with the new ones on the back or front and for how long?

Thank you!

If you cant see it how did you find it to feel it ? Take it to a tire shop and let them feel, it. You dont want to relace a tire with good TREAD , but be safe.

Well, actually the tire shop found it while they rotated the tires. I want to make sure I'm not getting ripped off, but yea i could feel the bubble. Is this something I should worry about?

We can't tell you that without seeing the tire. If you have ay doubts about this ship, simply take it to a different shop and get a second opinion.
