Tire bubble
Was walking around my trailer and noticed this . The tires have maybe 300 miles on them. My question is, is this a tire bubble or what? I can feel small ridge in the tire.
Do /should I need to replace it?
We are getting ready for a 1500 mile round trip at the starting the end of next week and I don't want to deal with it.
Thanks

The ridge is where the the belts come together and the bubble is probably where the rubber was joined, but definitely contact a Goodyear store and or your dealer before you head out.

I've got the same thing on all 4 of my Goodyear Wranglers on my truck nothing to worry about IMO. Lots of tow miles with no issues for me.

That's not a bubble. A bubble would look like a blister and that is wall separation, which would concern you. Agree that I own tires with that same indent and not an issue.

There is something "raised" right at the edge of the tread and sidewall that I would want checked.

It's a manufacturers tread splice and is normal. Especially when running max psi. It should go away after a little use. Like Norty said, GO CAMP!

Me too. The tread splices on the sidewall look normal to me. Probably, that raised something at the edge of the tread and sidewall is just a bit of excess rubber left from the molding process, but it's hard to tell for sure. Is that rubber just a very thin "flap" of rubber, or is it more substantial than that?

I noticed the exact same think in my tires after about 800 miles. When I first noticed the bumps, I also noticed that my tires were slightly over inflated (maybe 84 psi). I made sure every morning that they were 80psi, no more no less. Bumps have all but disappeared.
That was about 3000 miles ago. I know tires should not have bumps in the sidewalls, and an extra 4 lbs of air shouldn’t have anything to do with it. I would like to know what Goodyear says.
