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.

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.
