What causes a side bubble in a tire?
Tire bubbles are most often caused by high-impact damage, such as hitting a pothole or piece of road debris; running into a curb; driving too fast over speed bumps or railroad crossings; overloading your tire; and driving, even for a short distance, with a flat tire.
Why does my car feel like it has bumps in it?
If the car was serviced just before this problem started, it is very possible that the tires were overinflated by a service tech. If it turns out that the tires are set at an appropriate pressure (as per the label on the driver’s door jamb, NOT the pressure listed in the tire sidewall), then the struts are the probable culprit.
Why does my car make a clunking noise when I drive over a bump?
Cars that make clunking noises as they drive over bumps may have worn struts or leaf spring shackles, or damaged control arms or shock absorbers. If you drive over bumps and hear a clunking sound, there is a good possibility that something important is wrong with your car.

Why does my car have a bumpy ride?
Tires are usually the first thing to check if your car’s ride feels strange. Rough, bumpy rides can be due to bad tire alignment, incorrect air pressure – too low, too high, different pressures in each tire – or even the tires not being mounted properly. Worst case scenario could be the rims themselves have become damaged or warped.

What does it mean when your car tire bulges?
Tire bulges are a real pain. One day you’re trundling along and enjoying the smooth ride of your favorite car- the next? Something has caught your eye, and upon closer inspection you notice there’s an egg-shaped swelling on the side of your car tire.
What causes a car tire to blow out at high speed?
If the pressure is too high, they might warp or become misshapen. High air pressure causes tires to wear out faster. If the pressure is excessively high or exceeds the manufacturer’s recommendations, the tire might blow out, particularly at high speed.
