Ball On Tire
OK GUYS (AND GIRLS) I AM SUre that this has been covered before but to lazy to search
i dont know if i hit something or what but on my passenger side tires front and back. I have a bump or ball on the side of the tire. also my front rim also so has a bump on the lip only

thats what the bump looks like looking at it without the tire on
my question is how bad is it to drive or how long can i drive with my tire like that with the little bubbe looking thing.
also how much $$$$ do u think it will cost to fix my rim
i paid 130$$$ for each rim so would it be better to fix it or just buy a new one
and if i buy new tires i believe it s better if i buy all four
and it sucks because everthing is only like 5 months old i had everything brand new

That bubble on the tire is a very bad thing. and your tire could blow at any moment, you need to get that tire replaced.
you wont need to get 4 if they are only 5 months old.

LOL. Put new 2 tires on the front. Keep the one good tire as a full size spare. Throw away the tire with the buldge.
Scenario 2
Just replace that one tire.

Replace the rim and the two tires just have the new ones rotated to either the front or rear. Any tire shop will do this for you and acutally No tire shop should put two new ones on the same side.
