Bubble in Tire
Posted by naomi on October 25, 2006
There is a small bubble on my rear outside duel, an 8R19.5…is it imperative that I replace it right away?
If it is truly a bubble on the sidewall of a tire, I say, yes, replace it. In this case, there is gap between the cords of the body ply of the tire. If it a raised area (up to 1/16 inch high), long and narrow extending up from the bead area, it may be a "heavy splice". This is where two pieces of ply material were overlapped when the tire was built. In this case, I would not be concerned.
