Friday night I drove right into a fricken hole on the GrandCentral Parkway.
( That highway sucks btw. )

I now have a bubble which sticks out about half an ich.
Its not that noticable but its there.

Do I need to change my tire right away or is it do-able for a few more miles ( maybe hundreds of miles )

Thanks in advance.

 

Do you have any warranty on the tire? You can ride it out for a few hundred miles but Id recommend that it be changed soon. Like next paycheck soon.

 

I bought the tire before I drove down to Miami from Queens NY. That was back in the summer.

I've put close to 14-15K miles on that tire. Maybe its worth changing them all.
My two fronts have about 14-15k on them.

The rears have never been replaced. So I have like 40k miles on it.

I guess I should change them all. Whats the tire life? 20k

 

If it was me, I wouldn't risk it. I'd get it changed as soon as you can.

 

You popped the steel belt inside the tire. Get it fixed ASAP, unless you're really broke and confident that you can control your car if you get a blowout.

whoat: Does a car warranty cover you running into pole?

 

Thanks guys..
I guess like whoa said, next paycheck.

Michelin Pilots, here I come.

 

Are you riding on Nitto NT450's?

 

im using the stock tires, which are Michelin Pilots, 195/65/15.......I wish I could put 205/65/15's on the stock rim, but oh well.

 

What you've got is air trapped between the layers of rubber in the sidewall. It is a weak point in the rigidity of the tire. Another pothole such as the one you struck could spell doom for for your tire, as could a good curb check. Sometimes, if the tire's new enough, you can get the tire replaced pro-rata and not have to pay for the entire cost of a new tire.

 

Man Kevin, what's up with you and brakes! I swear, you have a hard on for brakes!!! hahahaha
First your lude upgrade and now these! Damn boy, you should work on other people's brakes
