A tire bulge, also known as a bubble or sidewall separation, is a bump on the tire’s sidewall, and sometimes on the tread, that indicates where the internal materials - fabric, steel cords, inner liner, and plies - have been disrupted or separated. Indentations are cosmetic, while bulges are dangerous. Bulges from impacts may show up immediately or after some time. This article explains what the causes of tire bulges are, how dangerous they are, what you can do to prevent them, and how to address the issue once a tire bulge occurs.
