Bulge in Tire

So this morning at the gas station I noticed that my front left tire has a bulge on it. Looks like a huge raised pimple. There is no discoloration on or around the bulge (i.e. grey/white). That along with the fact that I was due to replace my tires this year (summerish) I am thinking instead of ignoring it and potentially becoming a road hazard or causing more damage with a blowout, I would replace all 4 tires today.I am currently running 205/55/16 General Altimax HP. I have been so happy with these I am going to get them again. Currently offered for $109 at my Town Fair Tire Options are as follows:http://www.townfairtire.comIncluded in each price:-Shipping to any location for install-Mounting-Alignment-TPMS reset-Warranty-Lifetime Flat Repair (and replacement)-Lifetime RotationTotal out the door price for install is $550. Not bad, I could have gone cheaper getting online but I don't get the coverage that this place offers and I don't want to wait for this tire to possibly blow. I could have gone a little cheaper, but I don't want to sacrifice what I already have and these tires have been awesome, can't wait for my 3rd set.

Seems like a good price on the new tires. Glad you found the bulge before it caused problems on the road.

I drove both hands on the wheel today expecting some sort of issue, but luckily there was none. It pays to use caution on these types of items.
