Tyre Blister
« on: 26 April 2010, 09:38 »
Cleaning my car prior to putting it up for sale as per previous post and noticed a blister in my front left tyre on the sidewall. It is softish to push, about 3cm wide and 7-8 long. It is much softer than the rest of the tyre. Any ideas, is it time to change it?

Could blow at any time... so yes, change it.

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

As above, don't drive on it.  Get the spare on to get you to the tyre fitters.
