Constant Bulge On My Tyre by phemocheee(m): 7:53am On Feb 08, 2019
Please I need your suggestions.

I use Acura TSX 2005 with tyre size of 215/50 r17. Over the last one year, I have changed my front tyres like 3 times. I bought the tokunbo tyres from Ladipo.

However, I noticed that each time I run into pothole, my front tyres often come out with bulge by the side.

Someone said it was due to the aspect ratio of my tyre/rim but I'm not so sure about this. Is 215/50 tyre spec bad for Nigeria roads?

Please is there anybody that has experienced this before and what did you do to stop it.

Have u tried new tyres? Tokunbo tyres are dangerous.
The three times u changed the tyres would've gotten u a new tyre and u have some change.

By new tyres, are you referring to the likes of Michelin, Pirelli or are those China tyres okay?

Over inflated tyres. Your tyres should be inflated to 35psi max cold air inflation pressure.

Also slow down when you get to a bad portion or bump.

Thanks and I totally agree with you. However, I'm only worried that it's happening to me too frequently compared to other people.

I think he’s answered you.

Over inflation is the most likely cause. I had similar experience as well. Always tell the vulnizers to not exceed 35psi and If possible get your own gauge.

Under inflation can cause it too

Always buy new tyres, even if it's "Double King" or "Sunfull".
