Tire Tumor.... need opinion
Hey guys... so i bought a set of used tires for pretty cheap, had it mounted and came home. I noticed on one of the tires there is a small tumor on the sidewall. Now i have warranty on them, i've been thinking about going back and getting it replaced but problem is, the place is freaking far!
so is a small tumor on the tire really bad?

it will only get worse. Being that you have warranty i would highly recommend getting it replaced. Do you really want to get a blow out due to the fact that you were too lazy to drive and get it fixed for free.

Bubble means that the inner lining of the sidewall has ruptured so its only a matter of time before it blows. Keep in mind that those bubbles usually blow after the tire is hot and the air inside has expanded. So put your spare on and get that tire replaced.

any kind of tire tumor is really bad and im talking from experience. i had a very small tire tumor once then was on my way to my tire guys shop when my wheel popped on the highway. luckily i didnt skid or anything like that when it popped. get that thing replaced asap and if possible dont drive on that tire on your way there. all you need is one pothole to make that tumor pop!
