Gotta hate those curbs. I also hate potholes that pull you in and dent your rims so you get yelled at by your rents.

I would get it replaced as soon as possible. There is no knowing when it will decide to blow out and the bubble is a very weak spot prone to doing that. I personally wouldn't drive any more than to get it over to a tire place to put a new one on.

i just took off my 2 rear wheels and put on my 15s. i know its ricey but i couldnt put just one rim on or else it would look worse. plus my other 2 tires on my 15s for the front are wore down to the belt from negative camber from my civic before i got the camber kit for it.
