Guys, my Vento running on 2-year old Yokohama BluEarth's has developed a bulge on the LHS Front Tyre. What possibly could be the reason and what are the options for this to be fixed?

Here's what BHPian Indian2003 had to say on the matter:

The reason must be damage caused while driving and the cords are damaged. Nothing else to do than replace with a new one of the same brand and threads.

Here's what BHPian a4anurag had to say on the matter:

Would be great if you can add a few images of the tyre and the bulge so as to assess and suggest a way forward.

AFAIK, there is no real repair option, just have to replace that tyre IMO. Not sure if Yokohama would address the issue under their warranty terms. Do check with the dealer where you bought these tyres.

Here's what BHPian Lalvaz had to say on the matter:

Replacing the tyre is the only option. Cant take the chance of driving with the bulge, since it may result in a blowout anytime.
