A small bulge on the tire indicates a safety hazard, as it can easily lead to a tire blowout. Especially if this occurs on the front tire, it should be replaced immediately. A blowout can cause the vehicle to lose control, leading to a safety accident. Here are some methods to prevent tire bulges: 1. Tires become thinner with prolonged use, making them more prone to bulging. When the tire wear reaches the level of the tread wear indicator, it should be replaced. 2. Avoid driving at high speeds on rough roads or over speed bumps, as this can impact the wheel rims and tires. If a bulge is not detected in time, further impact may directly cause a blowout. 3. Check tire pressure regularly. If the pressure is low, inflate it promptly, as prolonged low-pressure driving can lead to bulging. 4. When parking, ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface to avoid squeezing the tire sidewalls, which can damage the internal cords.
