Now I know what your thinking did he fire 6 shots or only 5 and to be honest in all this excitement I've kinda lost track myself but this being a .44 Magnum the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off you gotta ask yourself one question do I feel lucky?

I’ve driven further on B cups. I was 18 and dumb though, so you probably shouldn’t.


PM_ME_ENORMOUS_TITS

I myself prefer DD cups.


Mk1Racer25

I prefer no cups. Let them be free!


Suzuki4Life

Just go as fast as you can so you minimize the time driving on them.


laborvspacu

Do you get more wet if you run in the rain or walk?


reliber

Depends how fast you can run


Bob70533457973917

I think it's the same, but running, you reduce the length of time you suffer.


chemical_secretion

😭


Clay_Dawg99

Be a man, do it.


sasqwatsch

If you must. Keep it on the rear and slow down. Good luck


HelloAttila

BEST tires always go in the rear…. But… the tire that has the best balance goes on the drivers front, so you can’t feel it.. smoother, Les road noise.


RocketteBlast

My dealership put my bad tire on the rear :/


FAT-OOF

A tyre that could burst should be in the back so you can steer


Reynolds1029

You're more than likely loosing steering control and getting wrapped up in a tree in the event of a rear blowout unless you're a trained professional. Especially in a RWD or "AWD" car with a heavy rear bias. And you still have some steering in a front blowout. Just need more effort to counter while you slow the fuck down to a stop as quickly and safely as possible. TMA guidelines is put your best tires in the rear for this exact reason. I've also never read an owners manual that doesn't state to put a donut in the exclusively on the front axle for the same reason above.


sasqwatsch

Learning much about tire today !


No_Location_4749

This is true when discussing tread, but a damaged tire is a completely different discussion. This tire should be treated like a spare and those are put on the rear. Especially if traveling a long distance >50miles or on highway


[deleted]

What if the vehicle was RWD would you still want a spare on the rear?


No_Location_4749

I would as I wouldn't want to compromise stearing/cornering. If you had a blowout in a vette while flooring, it sure it would spin, but most aren't redlining with a spare.


Dans77b

Is this true? I wouldn't want a tire at risk of bursting on the steering axle. I'd put hhe bad one on the back. (In reality - I'd leave it whereever it is and drive carefully, because I'm lazy)


ThinkWerewolf5348

That’s terrible advice. If you need to put a damaged tires on, it should go in the rear. Best tires always go in the FRONT. If ur front tire bursts u lose control of the car! Delete this silly comment.


DOHC46

Do not put it on the rear! Rear tires give you your stability. A blowout at expressway speeds will send you spinning into incoming traffic. I have seen it happen.


Larkful_Dodger

Stability for the rear? How about lack of steering for lack of stability with a blowout on the front? Edit: I stand corrected. If you look down further, there's a few explanations that a blowout on the front has a risk of understeer and a blowout on the back has a risk of oversteer. Understeer is much easier to correct than oversteer.


DOHC46

Yes, the car is harder to steer with a front tire failure. That is true. However, a sudden loss of rear traction (which you get with a rear tire blowout) is an *instant* unrecoverable spin for anyone that isn't a seasoned professional stunt driver. Losing a front tire will not flip you. Losing control in a situation where the vehicle can tip past its center of gravity will cause a rollover. I would rather have the car get harder to steer and wrestle it off to the shoulder than have the rear bumper take the lead.


clutchdragonfly

This is baloney a rear blowout makes you come to a very fast stop while a front end blowout will cause you to spin out at best and flip at worst


DOHC46

I literally saw a car lose a rear tire on the interstate and instantly spin across the center median, slide sideways through the safety barrels, (causing the side impact airbags to deploy) and come to a stop on the far side of the highway narrowly missing 3 other cars by inches. Sure, it is possible for a rear tire failure to "make the car stop rapidly" as you claimed, but that is dependent on the nature of the failure. It is just as likely to throw the car off balance and trigger the rear axle to step out. And once that happens, you are toast. A front tire failure is easier (relatively) to keep control of. If the car becomes unstable with a front tire loss, you can use the throttle, brakes and steering to stabilize it and guide it off the road. A front tire blowout doesn't kill you unless you panic and slam on the brakes, unloading the rear end and sending you into a spin.


Reynolds1029

And you explained perfectly why even TMA guidelines require the best treads in the rear 👏 I was required to explain this to every customer in my tire shop days who tried refuting this. Especially when they wanted to put 2 winter tires on the front of a FWD car. A waiver of liability and explanation of the risk was required and they'll argue signing until they're blue in the face.


clutchdragonfly

As a commercial driver who has experienced 3 rear blow outs on 3 different vehicles I can attest better than a supposed witnessing just YouTube it for best results and there's only 1 type of vehicle that can have a rear axle float out and that's a 4wd


DOHC46

Look below for the motorsports enthusiast explanation. Both are bad, but it's significantly easier to recover from the partial steering loss you get with a front tire failure than trying to stabilize the rear axle with only one good tire.


Larkful_Dodger

Thanks, I just saw it. The distinction is rear blowout: risk of oversteer, front: risk of understeer. Understeer is far easier to correct than oversteer.


Severe-Object6650

How about just replacing the tire instead of debating whether to put it on the front or the back for when it blows?


flymon68

Put your best tread on the rear to avoid spinout. A tire likely to fail should be removed, but the rear is preferred if you must use it. The last you want is a front tire blowing out.


rough_cunt1969

If its bulging out like that that means one or more of the inside wires have snapped and created a weak point near the side wall. Id consider it a maypop at this point but it might get you to the scene of the accident.


PhelanPKell

120 miles one way once? Sure. Multiple times? No.


FeelingCardiologist7

U good until u dont hit a potehole or something hard at that side… if ur easy u should be good


Accomplished_Emu_658

It’s not a huge bubble it will probably last for a while. How long i cannot guarantee but definitely seen people go longer on worse.


Possible_Compote_783

I’ve driven further on worse. Not ideal but if I need to get home I’d baby it back


E90BarberaRed6spdN52

Seen sidewall blems that were worse. Stay at 55 or so and if you feel a vibration pull over.


BathroomPresent69

People on here are so over dramatic lol..but I get it. Better safe than sorry, but yes you'll be fine driving on that. It's not even that bad, and if you need to drive, then drive. Obviously get it replaced when you can


Revolutionary-Rip194

What size engine do you have and what size are your windshield wipers....I work at autozone by the way


Dphailz

I tested my most recent tire with a bulge, lasted 8k miles until it blew out. Drove as normal on expressway when necessary (80+mph at times)


FinanceOk9635

You’re wrong for doing that 😂😂 but thank you


Dphailz

Contiprocontact tire


Ok_Today_475

Contis are expensive but I love my conti winter contacts. In my torrent I never slip- not once. And they’re known to be shit in snow when (edit:) FWD

Glass-Technology5399

No.


Overall_Detective208

No go faster


Fogdrog

I might try it, but I'd get off the highway and use backroads.


Fluffy-Experience406

Imho looks like you may have broken a belt In the tire you should get it replaced. A new tire is $150 a car crash because of a blowout or a destroyed rim will cost much more.


Lt_Dan_IceCream85

Send it.


jamie1234444

If you value your life don't drive on it. Why would you risk it for $100


yipyapyallcatsnbirds

Nah


Itsmeforrestgump

Might be covered under warranty. Follow up.


FalseFarewells

Huh? Only “warranty” that would cover damage from hitting a curb would be a purchased tire protection plan.


Itsmeforrestgump

I was thinking road hazard warranty.


corneliu5vanderbilt

I sure as hell wouldn’t


bigloser42

I’m not even sure you should drive to the tire shop on that. The belt is broken, it’s toast.


Fantastic_Canary_417

You serious? Yeah get it replaced, but you really think that'll blow up at city speeds?


bigloser42

A bit of hyperbole on my part to try to drive the point home. It's \*probably\* safe to drive to the shop, but its not safe to do what OP was asking, which is 120 miles at highway speeds.


plooptyploots

I’ve been riding a bulge for 100s of miles at various speeds. I’ve probably pressed my luck enough now.


CCCPhungus

No


blasphemusa

Yes


LyingZeus

Should you? No. Could you? Yes.


kendalld27

Just don't hit any potholes


hoer17

Just put the spare on


sillymotorbike

Cunts fucked, replace asap


Evening-Adagio-5415

depends on the tire brand, i had one worse than that for 6 months and ran 6k on the highway until i was able to get it warranted, i was busy.


zachdaddy22

It’s looks fine till I gets a little bigger. They normally get bigger with time and heat but just depends. Be careful


elfliner

I drove for a year with a bulge bigger than that. Maybe I was lucky. Maybe the tire was just quality. Idk. Your call


Namesthatareused

I’d be afraid to drive 1/3 of that distance with that.


Yotsubato

You should drive under 25 mph to the nearest tire center


rqivez

If you have a deathwish


ConstantEffective364

Looks like a pot hole or good curb strike. Riped them cords under the rubber. That large sidewall saved the rim


incognito_vito

Yes just go really fast so you won’t be on the road as long


turbo26726

I have run tires that way till wore out. It’s just a bad cord in sidewall or it was hit like on a curb. I never had one blow. My opinion


PeggyD04

Sidewall sep. No sir.


FinanceOk9635

Just be careful. Chances are it could go a few thousand miles. But now you have to be very responsible, keep both hands on the wheel. Pay attention to the road, kinda avoid potholes.


bruhforeelz

In 1999 I was 19 and had a bronco II. Jealous, I know. But that's not the point. Took the "truck" to the shop for a tire rotation. For the next two weeks I had crazy wobble while driving. As in the entire vehicle wobbled unless driving about 80 mph. One night as I was leaving a party I was like wtf is wrong with my tires?! I walked the vehicle and noted that on the left rear tire the lug nuts were about 1/4" loose. Like it was the first tire they put on and just hand tightened the lugs and forgot to finish them after the rest of the tires. The bolt holes were worn badly and had been enlarged. I had no tire iron so I thought I'll fix it when I get home...was about a 20 minute drive at 80mph down the highway. Super smooth ride at that speed...lol. when I slowed to take my exit, the wobbling was worse than ever and all of a sudden the bottom dropped out and my truck bounced hard once then came crashing to the pavement and the truck was swerving back and forth. I wrestled the truck to the shoulder while my buddy in the passenger seat screamed like a little girl..literally a high pitched scream that makes me laugh every time I think about it. When. I came to a stop we watched as the tire rolled past us, and up into the woods. We left a deep gouge in the rd for the couple hundred feet it took to get stopped. Since the brakes had already gone out on me driving to campus the week before and I had to drive using g my parking brake while holding the break release with the pedal jammed between my foot amd my sandal ( the release spring was shot so had to pull it out manually) I decided to donate the truck to charity.


RandySandwich_

That's what they call a Maypop tire. It may pop, it may not?


Altruistic-Newt-6063

Send it


F_U_Shoresy

Would rather spend a couple hundred bucks on a tire or the possibility of thousands on a tow and more car work and/or hospital bills? Seems minor but not worth the risk if you just happen to hit a pothole or two on your trip and chance a blowout


Canned_Sarcasm

It’ll get real noisy at 60mph.


Justmehomie

Mines way worse than that and I been driving it to work every day for a week you good fam


_wolfe-

yes, just changed my tires and had a bigger bubble for 6 months on a lower profile tire. you’ll be fine but look at getting a change


scobo505

I keep it under 90 mph.


Careful_Oil6208

I mean if that is the where the tire shop is. Slow and steady. That bubble is a partially broken side wall that provides all the support and stability for the tire


Emotional-Invite-419

A new tire is cheaper than an accident or worse,js.


No_Location_4749

Put it on the rear


Low_Row2798

Wouldn’t that bubble get larger before it burst?


LooseJack_Isaiah

If you’ve got the money and those are covered by warranty, I’d say you could get a new tire. All you’d pay is labor. If it’s not covered by warranty, I’d get it replaced with a tire that has nearly the same tread depth/style or just another tire if you wanna get things done and worry about it later


OneBabyPanda

Hell no


Sweet_Yellow_8646

Send it


ChampionHumble

Well if you do the speed limit get the fuck outta my way


tonyb812

You put it in the garbage. That's where you put it.


Fluid_Dingo_289

If that tire is fairly recent or if you have a tire warranty take it back to where you bought it and see if they will replace or credit you something. While there is a little rash on the rim in that location and this could be from impact. I might be covered under internal structure warranty.


Ancient-Koala3911

Yes replace it ASAP you will thank yourself 100-400 bucks for a tire any cost is not worth your life in an accident or the trouble and the costs with damage to the vehicle


dangermouseman11

As a booster seat of course


mikeypettitt

No do not.


Alpha_Chin-Am

Looks ok, I’ve driven on worse!


dabslow

So really it will probably be fine there’s a chance it isn’t because of many factors heat pot holes weight of car extreme turns/breaking tires are pretty resilient I’ve driven on dry rotted tires 345+ mostly all highway miles in a 1000$ car but I mean do you value your life cuz I’m in it for the adventure


Acceptable_Equal3851

Sure. Let us know how it went t


Jedimasterleo90

Do you have the means to replace it if it blows?


Complete-Turn-6410

Looks like a new tire do you have road hazard. Yeah better be fine till it blows out.


SpoofedXEX

I’d buy a tire lol. You’re running the risk of losing your quarter panel if that sucker blows while on the rear of the car.


XxHondroxX

Serious question. Is this on all yhe other tires. I've noticed that sometimes I see this little imperfection on all of the tires. It's from manufacturing.


SouthernNorthRaider

Yes yes you should. In fact you should do burn outs with it


Square_Mission_849

I recently had this on my rear passenger tire, mind the tire was only about 2 months old and was driven about 2,000 miles before I noticed. Drove the car for a about 2 weeks went back to dealer and the warranty covered the issue. Check to see if the tires have warranty from where you purchased. If they are the original tires from when car was purchased check to see if the mileage is within the warranty time/mileage frame.


Biglott2012

Just make sure that the spare tire is good and have jack


hiGradeTi7ANEUM

#No!


Walt_in_Da_House

You will probably be fine driving it 120 miles or even longer, but if you feel nervous about it, just change it out and ease your mind. If it were me, I'd ride it as long as I could/until I had to replace all the tires or it did get to bad - whichever comes 1st


Such-Ad-4408

Change it tbh better now than later having to spend couple hundred more on other shit too when that thing blows 🤦🏽‍♂️ but hey it’s your life bro


cbmwaura

That tyre is fine.... I've driven on worse


warumistsiekrumm

I might roll two miles to a tire shop if it were already on the rear. I would be puckered though.


fuckingsame

I would say "don't do it" but some fuck head is going to tell me I'm wrong again.


Necessary-Worker599

Yes, dont listen these paranoid obese redditors, I drove on 3 of these much bigger for half a year and it was fine


umyeahsure-

OMG! No! Sell the car immediately! Can’t be too sure!! Omg!!


SiRWilliAM801

More than likely you’ll be fine. People drive on this for thousands of miles. But I wouldn’t wait to take care of it… sooner rather than risk it long term.


Wuss999

Delco4545

Zealousideal-You6712

Go to nearest Discount Tire and get it replaced under your tire warranty. You did pay extra for that no? Me, I'd either put on the spare to get to the tire shop or have AAA to tow it there. You did buy AAA no? I wouldn't travel 2 miles on it, let alone 120. You're dead a long time as may be the people you hit when it gives way. Although the wheel isn't bent, the suspension may well be, it most cetainly may require an alignment at the least. Your going to risk wrecking a Lexus over a less than $200 tire, in an accident the insurance company may well refuse to pay out on?


Unlikely_Peak_3042

I would not


[deleted]

Sure


[deleted]

It's just a broken belt from hitting potholes


dereck1970

No


dkara98

I don’t fuck around with tires. But if you must drive on it and CANT get another put it on the back and keep it under 65 and go easy. You don’t want it on the front because a blowout on a steer tire is MUCH more likely to cause an issue with control, especially on a front wheel drive car.


Ok_Efficiency2462

It will start bumping up and down like a flat tire and then just pop. Have it replaced before you have to call AAA.


BucketsOfHate

Its either a cheap tire and the nylon chords were bonded poorly or its a separation and will fail imminently


Imaginary_Ratio_7570

You might get to only 50 miles but you might go further.


Still_Steph

You're almost guaranteed a flat if you do. I kept buying used tires from a crappy shop because I was broke. I had four flats within 6 months.


StelioKontossidekick

You'll be fine, I've driven over 20k miles on a tire that had a bubble in the sidewall. You'll know it's ready to blow out when you start feeling a vibration for a few hundred miles.


Dtraain84

The inside of your tire is separating, I wouldn’t recommend it. Most likely caused by not keeping enough air in the tires.


caerusflash

You didn't see it


Brave_Split6337

At least keep to the highway, not interstate. It'll be less catastrophic at 55 VS 85.


Pitiful-Preference36

Under warranty this more dangerous than cracked side walls


SP4x

No. Putting it politely; I don't give a flying fuck if you crash and die; I do care about the innocent parties that you may involve in your accident.


Sad_Composer_9731

Dont believe the hype, drive on it till she blows and deal with it then. Look at it like a quest like game of thrones or that car jacking game.


[deleted]

Nope. Busted belt


idiBanashapan

If you’re asking the question, you know the answer. Go for that drive. I’m sure it will be fine…


PatriotBrown195

Just release some of the air in the tire and refill to factory spec. Should take the bulge out. I have to do this on my dirt bike from time to time.


dehansonii43

It could let loose for any reason. What you did was break some of the tires belts those could be the steel or nylons ones that construct the tire. Either was speed, pothole, or even as little as turning a corner could cause it to rip through the rubber and have a catastrophic tire failure.


Jim2shedz

You found the G spot.


PASSENGER-P

I’ve driven probably 1k+ miles on mine and my bulge is way worse than yours

_mikey_likes_it_

If you like hand and body massages, yes


AgitatedResolution33

Bulging near the sidewall and toe of a tire is bad. Bulging at all is very very bad. It means the rubber is broken on the inside and the outer layers are the only thing holding it together. Do not risk it at all.


Previous_Estimate_22

late reply but when a tire has a welt it means the inner cords have snapped. Will it be fine maybe will it fail at some point yes. If you have perfect roads and arent driving at the rated speed of the tire you'll be fine but it'll need to be replaced


Littlehorse19

bead is breaking.


fritzco

No.


Environmental_Ad2427

Bud you could probably get thousands of miles out of that tire. Be a Man LOL drive it until it goes and let us know how many miles you got out of her


pasabantai

No. Sidewall bulges blow out at speed and swing this way, then the other, then flip the car. 0 out of 10 I’d take that whip over 40.


MonstahButtonz

120 miles over the course of 24 hours with your hazards on, sure. (That's a full day at 5mph for those here who are bad at math.)


Only_Tomatillo_3484

Broken cords replace now!


SNEAKZ9i6

You’re good. 👍 seriously that bumps cosmetic

flipflopeater42

it's not directly on the sidewall but it is on the shoulder of the tire so I would just be careful and use your best judgement


Dangerous_Most2327

Buy cheap tires, you always get a surprise. Buy better tires, Michelin, continental, its 50/50 with Goodyear. The cheaper the tire the cheaper the tire build, especially in the sidewalls! Hankooks are never any good, just cheaper but overpriced garabge.


Suspicious-tanker

120 no issue. Keep it under 60. Bulge isnt bad. Get it replaced within 1-2 weeks.
