I just noticed my car has a small lump on the side of it. When you touch it it is hard. I think I hit a pothole yesterday, but cannot remember which side of the car it was. IS this bad??? Can I drive it?? Will it pop??? HELP

Lumpy tires……get a new one fast!!!!
The lump is not suddenly going to go away…….the tire is defective……you are risking a blowout and being stranded on the side of the road….do you have a warranty on the tires from where you bought them or what??? Take it to a tire store quick and let them check it out…….

A lump in the side wall means that the tire has a defect/ weak spot and should be replaced ASAP. I would not drive at high speed for risk of blowout. Good luck

This is not good. The lump means that there has been a compermise in the sidewall of the tire and you need to get it replaced ASAP. By not getting this tire taken care of, you are risking the possibility of a blowout while driving.

Knot In Tire Sidewall

Sounds like your tire is damaged. You could have a blowout while driving and lose control of your car.
Please get the tire replaced as soon as possible, sidewall damage on a tire is not a good thing at all.
Good luck and be safe.

A bubble on the sidewall is not good. It can not be fixed and if the car is driven, a blowout could occur. The only remedy is to replace the tire.

you do not need air in the tire…..that means you broke the radial belt inside of the tire…..you may be able to drive on it….but you run a much higher risk of a blowout that way…and yes it will eventually blowout…it is not a good idea to drive on it very long….get it changed to be on the safe side
