The Disappearing Bulge

[l5foye]

I noticed that the rear Continental tyres had cracks in the side walls ( 30k miles, less than 4 yrs old) . I went to my usual tyre place and the guy pointed out that a front tyre had a bulge. Sure enough there was a bulge the size of half an egg. Unable to agree a price for replacement tyres, the next day I went to
another tyre place and ordered 4 tyres. When it came to fitting them, guess what- no sign of any
bulge. No sign of anything amiss in the inside of the tyre. All a bit weird. So I have ended up with
2 good(?) Continental tyres or have I?

temperature related? or at the bottom with weight of the car pushing the bulge?...maybe the tyre place has a removable stick on bulge to make sale targets! LOL

...at the bottom with weight of the car pushing the bulge?...

This was my thought.

My wife bought me one of those stick on bulge things for my 50th but that is another story.
