tire hump

i just got found a screw in my tire and i switched to my stockies.. but the tire that has the screw in it has 2 quarter sized lumps on it.. i think its from sitting with the flat all night because i just saw it this morning.. is my tire done? they are almost new tires with less than 4000 miles on it...

i believe you are talking about bubbles in the tires? if so, yes your tires are done. i had a bubble in one of my tires that also had a nail in it. not really sure what causes them. what tires were they?

haha yeah. the fact that our cars are AWD doesn't help.....

the cheapest way to fix it is to buy a new tire and have it shaved to same tread. it's either that or buy 4 new tires.
