Hit a pothole, bulge in tire

[MacDogg]

I hit a huge pothole in Austin today and am worried about some damage to the tire. I watched and screen that shows psi and it didn't drop on the 20 miles back home. When I got home, though, I saw this bulge in the tire. Is this something I should get repaired or replace the tire?

That tire is done. Get it replaced. Might have been a big pot hole and going fast.

Damn, thanks for the confirmation. Luckily I still have the stock tires so I can get it swapped out.

sad to see that kind of tire damage from potholes. we have lots of those in california, too.

That sucks!! ... happened to me once on my last car, as others have said replacement is the only option

Glad I checked with Tire Rack, the tire is covered by their warranty (hopefully after they check the pics and the call from the tire shop). Ordered a new one and should be here in a few more days.
I went by the spot where the hole in the ground is and now there is an orange cone in the hole.

Do you have councils in the US? If so, I would write them a letter and ask them to reimburse you for the new tyre. Include the invoice to prove you paid for the tyre and the time and date it happened...
