It looks like the tread there is worn in one spot.. so could be a bubble,
but it doesn't look real bulgy if you know what imean

Re: Any tire experts out there?
if its got even a sight bubble in it bin it asap or smoke it up straight away
i had some brand new bridgestones that had a fracture in the tyre ( like a soft spot or bubble ) and the tyre flew apart on me
but this was worst case scenario
jam up a pic

= / they have only done 10,000 ks max
Re: Any tire experts out there?
loojs to me like belt has snapped or given way at that one spot, buldged out and worn down. you risk it ripping entirely at speed and probably causing a crash. up to you but id say bin it or smoke it at mike's manji day, never risk shit with tires man.
Re: Any tire experts out there?
Looks like a bulge to me, caused by a damaged (or faulty) belt in the tyre. It is not long for this world. Are they MY01s?
Disregarding the bulge I would be pretty stoked if my rear tyres looked anything like after 10,000kms...

How much do you have to spend? There are plenty of cheap tyres out there these days.
