replace it. Bubbling might be a manufacturing defect.. call the manufacturer and see what they can do.

I doubt its a tire defect. Considering he hit something hard enough to bend the rim, that will bubble the tire for sure.

yeah, you can run on it......but you run the risk of that tire exploding or leaving you stranded on the side of the road.......

not worth the risk, in my opinion.....

Sorry for the misfortune, but replace the tire.


Otherwise, you will get a blowout at the most inopportune time.

ya, you def need to replace that tire! As stated above, a bubble in the tire can/will fail. Having that tire blow out can do far more damage to the car then the cost of replacing it.
