It’s essential to address any bubbles on the side wall of your tire as they can indicate a potential problem. The bubble is likely caused by the separation of the layers within the tire, allowing air to accumulate and form a bulge. This can occur due to various reasons such as impact damage, manufacturing defect, or prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
To resolve the issue, it’s recommended to replace the affected tire as soon as possible. Continuing to use a tire with a bubble can be dangerous as it may lead to a blowout or loss of control while driving. When replacing the tire, ensure you select the appropriate size and type for your vehicle.
As for the inner tube, if you have a tube-type tire, it’s a good idea to inspect it for any damage or wear. If the inner tube appears to be in good condition and free from any defects, you may reuse it by transferring it to the new tire during the replacement process. However, if there are any signs of wear, such as cuts or leaks, it’s advisable to replace the inner tube as well.
