Tire question, bubble in sidewall
how dangerous or more likey is it for the tire to blow out when a tire has bubble on the sidewall? do i really have to trash theses tires even if they are practically new??? the bubble is size of a nickle, low profile tire 225/40/18 sitting on honda prelude (for the beater car). just a question for the tire guru's.

The tire may be fine for an extended period of time or may blow out tomorrow, it's a chance you are taking if you keep it. I once drove off road on part of the Baja 500 course, with a huge knot in the sidewall of my tire for like 2 days until I hit a boulder and it exploded. I suggest getting a new tire just to be safe.
