You know you need a new tire when

Pissoff · 10-14-2015, 12:15 PM

Saw this today, funny but not funny. No way should this still be driven. Why would anybody think this was safe to drive out on the street for any distance?

By the way this is not my car.

It doesn't come across well in pic but assume sidewall has a cut or a bulge; yes, very unsafe.

Pissoff · 10-14-2015, 02:15 PM

Yes big ole bulge right by the rust spot on the wheel

Most people see that and assume its no big deal since the tire isnt losing air. Definitely need to replace that one!

I. Think it is some Chinese tire. It looks to me
Like the temperature rating is C.

It's a Michelin.

I have seen soooo many tires like that. Some that are MUCH worse. Drive on a tire low on air and the inner liner will fail. Then you will get 10-20 similar bulges around the entire tire.

The above is usually caused by rubbing a curb and pinching the sidewall, tearing the inner liner.

Yeah this is very unsafe for you. You must change your tire as well as possible

Not my tire! One I saw and snapped a picture of..

I would have left a note. You'd be surprised how many people don't look at their tires and wouldn't notice something like that.
