Is a bubble in a tire dangerous?
Very much so if it blows out. ----------------------------------------- Yes. If there is a bubble in a tire, that means that the tire has what is called a separation. A separation happens when the tread on the tire peels away from the steel belts and fabric inside. Air then starts leaking into the space between the tread and steel, and creates a bulge in the tire, which is the bubble you can feel in the tire. A separation is extremely dangerous because a separated tire WILL blow out shortly after the bulge appears.
