Will my bulged tire blow up?
Hit a pothole hard the other day. I look at the front driver tire and it has a bubble on the side. Should I be worried? Replace or not?

The structure re-enforcement of the tire has been compromised, that why U have the bulge...

What I got to do is ask for the city to pay the bill. Those asses. You should have seen that pothole. I probably need an alignment too.

Nah, I wouldn't worry about it....
Why don't you just test it out? Go to your favorite highway and gun it until your deep into triple digit speeds. Let me know if it blows

Well.....back to the original topic.....I noticed a bulge in my rear passenger side tire and had my 7500 mile tune up over the weekend and they didn't make mention of any problems when they rotated the tires, BUT I still noticed even after I got home in the same tire moed up front. Anyhow, I called up my dealer and I'm going in tonite to have them take a look at it. $205 installed for one tire!!!!!!!! 
Mutha' fvcka's!!!!!!!!!

And at the time it cost me $340 to get it fixed. Seems the price of those michelin tires was bloated when the CLS 1st came out. (july 00)
Sorry man. But I know how ya feel.

So here's my question.....so I call the dealer and get quoted $205 for replace and install of the stock tire(not covered under warrenty). I could drop some Toyo proxies and/or Michelin A/S for that price (x4 of, course). What to do?! It's just a matter of paying for four tires, but these stocks suck donkey balls anyhoo!!!!! Should I bite the bullet and just throw new rubber on there?!

IT HAPPENED TO ME
I had the same problem as you did.... one day I hit a pothole hard and I formed a bubble. Well, I swore I would fix it ASAP -- I then went on vacation and forgot about it for 5k miles and it just deflated the other day on the way to work. I am just glad I didnt die or something.
