    Hi Guys...

    Just an inquiry... I recently found a lump on the sidewall of my rear tire... its a bit of a low profile tire.. but not so low..(sorry I dont know how to describe it) I thinks its an Goodyear Eagle F1. The tires are fairly new.... (6 months or so)..

    My question is ... due to this lump.. would I need to change the tire? or its something I can live with...(safety issue in mind...)

    thanks for any responses...

    ^^ if you still have the receipt or know the time and date, ask for warranty. pwedeng overinflate, pwedeng may tinamaan, pwedeng factory defect (lemon) and etc.

    I've had 3 Goodyear tires develop lumps or got deformed before hitting the 20,000 km mark. Switched tire brands years ago, haven't experienced it since.

    Yikes.. the plot thickens....

    Having learned this re Goodyear.. would it then be okey to use a different brand as long as its the same size and tread pattern. Its gonna be an odd man out though .. mag iisa lang siya out of the four....
