Tire Bubbles caused by???
What's up guys. I had a set of tires that I used on my old rims.
Tires seemed fine. No bubbles or anything of the sort.
I bent a rim, sold them And decided to keep the tires because they were pretty good.
I stored them in my backyard. They were exposed to the elements.
Fast forward to yesterday. Got my new rims and installed the tires at a tire shop.
Noticed a bubble and immediately checked the tire pressure. It was higher than my gauge could read. (Stops at about 50 psi)
So could that over inflation cause the bubble? I've never seen a bubble before
Or could them being exposed to the elements cause the tire to weaken ???
Thank you all

under inflation causes bubbles due to impact and separation of the layers of rubber inside the tire as far low pros go. I am not sure about over inflation but that could be an issue but i am leaning to under inflation..

How did you bend your old rim? Is it possible you also damaged the tire sidewall as well?
How long were they stored?
