How long can I go?

hey guys,

ive had a bubble in my front left tire for about 1.5 months now, and ive been riding on it...

ive also had a bubble in my front right tire for about 1 month now.


anyways, how much longer can i drive on these bubbles?

the bubbles are in the front, is it better if i put the front tires in the back, and the rear tires that are good in the front?

It's very hard to tell how long you could drive. You could go months without a problem or it could blow out the next time you hit a bump.

At the least I would move them to the back. But I would seriously get them replaced as soon as possible. If you have a blowout, chances are you might not be able to stop in time to prevent wheel damage.

You shouldn't be driving with them period. Bubbles on the front is bad news with a FWD car. If the tire blows, and you're traveling at a high rate of speed, HOLD ON...

Hitting a bump or heating up your tires driving down the highway is whats going to finish it off.

Get it replaced ASAP.
