Default just noticed a bubble

I just noticed a bubble on the sidewall of my front left tire. How bad is this? Its nothing huge but i am just starting to worry about something like a blow out or whatnot. Is there major reason to be concerned?


And i know this doenst normally go in off topic but too bad h: :fawk:

Replace the tire it will eventually go.

I have to replace one of mine for the same reason.
