Tires are pretty new
i drove about 15 km's to my girlfriends house and when i got out i noticed the back right tire had smoke or steam coming from it and the air was kinda low. Worried, i drove back into town and 15 km's to the gas station to fill with air. As i was filling with air i heard a "POP or CLICK" sound, couldnt really make it out, but i kept filling er up.
As i drove out of the gas station i noticed the car bouncing up and down so i slowly made my way home.
Look at the tire and there is a HUGE bulge along the outside of the rim.
What happened?
Fixable? |

| sounds like your sidewall is done. I'm not an expert but when ever i have seen this it usually ends with the tire needing to be replaced. I would watch how much you drive on that tire. Can you use your spare and take it in. hope it works out for you. |

I doubt it can be fixed.
The bulge is around a whole 1/4 of the rim.
It looks pretty messed up.
The tires are pretty new and 17'' argh.
Dont want to be spending money right now. |

Unfortunatly it's hatched... you can't fix that.
What brand of tire was it, there might be warranty. |

| You said yourself it was a new tire. I agree with the others and say warranty. |
