I check the tire pressure of my car every couple of months. I do so at the start of the months otherwise I'd forget.
So, today when looking the first thing I noticed is one tire as a bulge. I do remember hitting a big pothole a couple months back and think that may be the reason.
I expect to need a new tire (have an appointment at car place tomorrow).
Had a similar thing happen years back (but sidewall blew that time). Then, had one tire changed. I expect this time, one tire change too.
Makes me think, so what's the thing about making sure to change all tires or in pairs and front or back (I forget which) for best traction? Doesn't only have one tire replaced at a time defeat the rule of thumb?
One my one tire was changed to a new one after the sidewall blow out, I did notice a difference in traction. Until I assume the new one got evenly worn like the rest.
