    I have the Cooper Cobra tires on my car. I got the car almost a year ago and when I got it it was/still is stock. 1 owner before me (some guy in his 40's). I am pretty sure they are the same brand/type tires that came out of the factory but probably aren't "THE" originals because the car has 66K miles on it. I have a bubble in one of my front tires. Does anyone know what this is caused by? I don't think it is a defective tire because if it were I would assume that the bubble would have always been there and not just shown up just now. I haven't hit any bumps or pot holes or anything.

    Thanks for your help.

    I don't think the Cooper Cobra's are the stock tiires. Most Camaro's and Firebird's came with Goodyear's.
    The bubble could be caused by hitting large potholes, running into a curb, etc. One of the belts inside of the tire broke, and it causes the tire to bubble out. REPLACE IT SOON!! I personally wouldn't drive on it anymore. You could hit another bump on the road and blowout the tire, possibly hurting yourself and/or someone else.

      Yea I am not dirving it right now. I am getting a new tire. I just have no idea why it is there because I haven't hit anything, not even a tiny bump.

        Could've possible been a defect in the tire. They do break every now'n then for no reason.
