Tyre Bulge and Sidewall Damage: Is It Safe to Drive?

A tyre bulge is a lump on the sidewall caused by internal damage - usually from hitting a pothole or kerb. It means the tyre's internal structure has failed, and it can blow out without warning.

Tyre Bulge: Can It Be Repaired?

No. Sidewall bulges and cuts cannot be repaired. The tyre must be replaced.

What Causes Bulges?

Potholes, kerbs, speed bumps taken fast and low-profile tyres on large rims.
