Hey gang;

I think I know the answer, but thought I would ask community the brain trust.


The passenger front tire on the wife's 2003 Sable, 215/60/16 Continental, has developed some sort of bulge/aneurysm in the sidewall. Tire has 28,000 miles on it and is three years old.

I believe the wife must have found a pot hole the size of Cleveland and broke some belts in the tire.

The questions. Should it be replaced? Should I get two tires?

get a new pair and have the front end aligned and do it fast, unless you and the wife are not on good terms...

+1 replace both tires A.S.A.P.

Buy 2 tires and get the alignment. Keep the good tire for a full spare if not equipped.

Replace all four tires. Best prices at Costco or BJ's IMO.
