I spotted a bulge in my rear offside tyre. The tyre is about 4months old and has plenty of tread left. Its a pirelli and I know it has not been kerbed is this a manufacturing defect? Is it safe? Your help please.

 

No it's not safe at all remove it now before it blows out on the motorway.

 

Take in to whoever you bought it from, but on no circumstances keep driving on it!

 

Thanks for the replies, I have spoken with the garage I bought the tyres from and he has advised it is changed right away. I have ordered a new tyre which will be in this afternoon. Will stick to 30mph on the way to the garage.
Cheers
Ricky

 

Blimey - good job you spotted that!

Phew - mate of mine had the same with his suped up Fiat Tipo and it blew out. He ended up upside down at 80mph ...... very nasty!
