Title: Hit a pothole at 60, developed wobble and tyre bulge
Post by: thomson07 on 10 February 2015, 17:29

As per the title, I hit a pothole a few weeks ago at approx 60mph :(
There was no immediate wobble, that has just come on in the last day or so, as has a bulge in the tyre wall.
Obviously ill be getting a new tyre asap.
Just wondering if a knackered tyre is enough to cause the wobble or am I possibly looking at more damage ?
(yes I know its impossible to tell, but hoping someone has similar experience)

Cheers !

New tyre without a hint of a question and get them to inspect wheel for cracks and true balancing. Get it tracked as well.
