Hello.

My front Tyre develops a bulge. Is this safe to drive?
Just noticed it this morning. 🙁

You need to replace your tires. A buldge is an indicator that the carcass has a tear. Since the carcass is what carries the load of the tire its best to change your tires.

Curious tho what tire you are using? Not often to see a UNECE R117 marked tires made in Malaysia unless its a new tire you got with the car from the factory.

Silverstone.
This is Tyre comes with the car out of factory.
Been 2yrs 9mths, but rarely drive during covid. So all in good condition (I think? ) except for this bulge.
