I recently bought a set of new tires. A week later I had a nail stuck in my tire so went to a mechanic to get it patched. After the patch he told me I could still drive it if the Bubble does not get bigger within the next 1-2 days. Is this still safe to drive?
Given this looks like a very low profile tyre, and therefore likely to be on a performance car, I would suggest that you replace it. Any bulge on the sidewall is suspect...
This could fail and it is the safety of you and any passengers riding in the car - a tyre is cheap compared to the long term consequences.
well yea, i mean as lone as he did it well your good to go. one way he could have done it to prevent further leaks is by infusing a tube in to the tire. that way the tube gets inflated when pumped with the outer acting as a protective patch. at least that's what i would have done.
