Tire Bubble

**V8MUSCLE** · 07-20-2010, 07:41 AM

I have a friend, a lesser intelligent friend, that has a bubble on her drivers front tire. it sticks out about a half inch and with about a 1.5 inch diameter. i have told her to trash the tire as it is a blowout waiting to happen, at a bare minimum move it to the back, even offered to do it myself. ive been debating stabbing it with a knife one day at work so she will have to get a new one.

shes in a chevy prism so a rollover at highway speeds would not be good at all.

any idea of a way to get her realize how bad a bubble on the front is?

i realize the main problem is it is a her that i am trying to get to understand how bad the bubble is, but ive already lost a couple friends to car accidents, dont want to loose another.

Tell her, if she won't do it for herself, then at least do it (replace the tire) for the people that care about her.

took the words out of my mouth... you could always swap it over for the spare then encourage her to save a couple of bucks a week to get a cheapo spare from fleabay

And for the other people on the road who might get hit by a car that has a blowout and the driver loses control. Put the spare on for her. Tell her we all said you should do that.
