Can a small tire bulge be repaired?

[SerenityDella]

Tire bulges cannot be repaired because they are caused by damage to the inner cord layers of the tire. The cord layers act as the skeleton of the tire, relying on nylon threads to prevent the internal gas from bulging outward. When several threads break, only the elastic rubber remains to support the tire, leading to uncontrolled internal pressure. This results in uneven force distribution on the outer tire, causing the rubber at the broken cord area to bulge under pressure. Such bulges are irreparable. Even if a repair is attempted by patching a rubber piece over the damaged area, it may look fine superficially, but the internal cord damage remains unfixable. The only solution is replacement. Moreover, since bulges typically occur on the tire sidewall, which constantly deforms and recovers during operation, any patched rubber piece will eventually detach over time.
