Stick a pin in it, that will get rid of the bulge.

the pin trick works, it creates a hole thats so small the rubber can fill the gap and it will seal, minus the bulge... ive done it succesfully loads of times

just make sure the pin goes all the way in, at least 1cm

Don't matter mate - would you consider yourself to be worth more than £218 ? And to be brutally honest, if you can't afford to replace the tyre to make the car 'right' then you can't afford the car.

it because the structure of the tyre is damaged normally by an impact.

change it now or you deserve to die

My mate has a BMW 318Ci Sport... Scotthall BMW quoted him £260 each for rear tyres, they are 255's or something ridiculous

I've bust two tyres in six months, 1st was a huge fuckoff pothole, and the second was some pillock had left a brick in the middle of the road as i was driving home at midnight (no street lights on back road where i live) over xmas. Got both replaced ASAP as they bulged to fuck
