don't even know if the tyre can be saved yet, but if it can, is the bubble a problem? it sticks out about 2mm from the rest of the tyre.

had a bigger bubble in my old trye and that was ok for about 1 1/2 years, but with the softer sidewall of the F1 might this be a problem. i'm expecting the tyre place to say i need a new tyre, but is it neccasary?

any advice would be greatly appreciated:)

thanks for the advice though, especially about the mot, guess they didn't look too hard at the tyres that were on before!
