Bump on my tire
Hey guys whats up. I wanted to ask if you guys have had this problem or know how to deal with it.
This morning I woke up to see a bump on the wall of my front-right tire. When I got in to drive, the comp read that I had low tire pressure.
Any advice/answer would help right now, bump is about a quarter of inch out.
Thanks

Take it to an authorized Goodyear dealer. Don't forget to take the warrantee info that came with your car. Sounds like it needs to be replaced.

Side-wall issues (busted belts, etc) are non-repairable...they owe you a new tire.

Good luck getting Goodyear to warranty the result of hitting a road hazard (pothole, etc.) Just pay for a new tire.

Road hazards are covered for the first 12 months. You have to take your Goodyear warrantee with you or they will try to charge you.
