What to Do with a Bulging Tire?
2 Answers
Tires with bulges need to be replaced with new ones as they cannot be repaired. The method to change a tire is as follows: 1. Place the jack on the designated position of the chassis support and loosen the screws diagonally using the wrench; 2. Hook the support onto the jack and attach the wrench to the end of the support, then rotate the wrench clockwise to lift the tire off the ground with the jack; 3. Remove the screws and take off the tire for replacement. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. Their functions include: 1. Transmitting driving force, braking force, and steering force through the tire; 2. Supporting the vehicle load; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during vehicle operation.
I think tire bulging is quite a dangerous issue, especially when you suddenly notice it while driving. As a veteran driver with twenty years of experience, I know very well that this is not something to take lightly. The first step upon spotting a tire bulge is to stop the car immediately—don't continue driving, as it could blow out at any moment and cause an accident. I would pull over safely, turn on the hazard lights, and then briefly inspect the tire surface to check for any obvious external damage or the location of the bulge. The safest next step is to switch to the spare tire. Although the spare is smaller, it can safely get you to a repair shop. Once there, the mechanic will likely recommend replacing the tire outright—never consider patching it or making do. The internal structure is compromised, like broken cords inside, and driving on it is essentially gambling with your life. In daily driving, I make sure to avoid hitting potholes at high speed or striking hard objects, as this significantly reduces tire damage. Regularly checking tire pressure and wear conditions is also a good habit, helping tires last longer. Safe driving is more important than anything else.
