I've suddenly developed a bubble on the sidewall my right front tire. I'm pretty sure it happened when I hit a curb hard a few weeks ago. I've obviously been driving on it for sometime before I noticed it.I know I should go get it looked at, but how dangerous is it? How prone will the tire be to blowing (provided that I don't hit it again)? Can I drive long distances and be safe?

The most common place to see a bubble in the tire is the sidewall. Tire bubbles can also form in areas where the rubber has worn very thin. Driving on a tire that has a bubble is very dangerous and there is a high possibility that it will blow out on you.
