Default Ugh... tire bubble
Hit a pothole last night in my 997.2 C4S and heard my right front squeak loudly. Pressures are stable and consistent so no puncture, but immediate bubble formed. Replace immediately, right...? (MPS)
Sorry for crappy pics...

Yes. Replace with matching tire. Hope wheel is not bent. Ask tire shop for run out to confirm.

Yeah... bummer. Though I think I may be replacing more than the one.

Same thing happened to me two years ago, but I noticed it too late... It cost me a whole wheel.

I think it is better to change it immediately too to avoid any possible problems. : )

Get the MPSS. Don't over-think it.
