Slight depression on the side wall.
What do? What do i stop doing?
>>14718292
Highly advise that you put on a spare if you have one and stop driving on that tire immediately. It looks like the belt in the sidewall has broken and begun to pull apart
i've had these on my s10's tires before
just drive it
>>14718300
Well. Fuck. Thanks.
>>14718292
Tire is fucked for sure, keep driving and it might implode or blow.
>>14718312
They are cheap ass tires. They dont call them may pops because they hold up well. Probably gona wait till it blows, and just have a spare handy. As it is i dont think ive got one.
>>14718300
This is bullshit. When belts break the pressure forces the tire outwards.
OP depressions are normal in sidewalls. Normally thats where the seam of the tire is. I'd bet if you felt the other side of the tire you'd find an indent right across from it.
Just drive it, its fine. Alarmist idiots like >>14718300 don't know shit.
>>14718324
That's a great idea. It might blowout when you're doing 80mph, which totally won't result in a serious crash or anything.
That's a casing failure, if the tyre isn't too old you should be able to claim warranty on it.
>>14718292
Indents are fine, it's when you have protrusions that you should replace the tire immediately.
>>14718374
pussy
>>14718292
I wish I had just slight depression.

Dude

feels bad man
>>14718387
After a hurricane comes a rainbow, anon. Things will get better in due time :)
>>14718408
every silver lining has a cloud
Is this really that bad? I've driven on a tire that looks just like that on my S10 for like 2 years and the tire looks fine..
>>14718435
No, its not. Anyone saying the tire is junk is an idiot. Its literally a result of making the tire. It doesn't always show up, but on cheaper tires it will eventually. Hell, some tires have an indent brand new.
>>14718447
Yeah my Firestone tires had that brand new. Even my goodyears and dunlops have had that shit show up on them
>>14718292
normal
>>14718387
fuck man
>>14718374
I've had blow outs at that speed and didn't wreck in a POS truck of all things,
Git gud.
>>14718315
Check with the business you bought the tire from. Couldn't hurt to see if it's covered by the warranty.

I live that feel
>>14718387
Iktf bro iktf
>>14718710
Yeah, I'd advise this.
Take it to a trusted shop and ask them their opinion
>>14718315
>>14718372
I was kidding, I literally have no idea if tires even have belts in the sidewall. What even are tires? How so they work?
>>14718292
Tire defect. I've seen these on brand new cars.
Is this dangerous? Maybe.
Tires new? Warranty?
its just a seam from when they make the tire. coming from a tire shop it is exceedingly normal.
>>14718292
It's fine don't worry about it
Of course take my advise with a grain of salt
Got 4 donut tires on my truck, tire got slashed, gotta last me another 2 weeks till payday, got 250 miles on the now and another 350 to go, makes the morning freeway commute in the recent snow a bit white knuckle

Sidewall Indentations / Undulations
A common byproduct of radial tire construction, sidewall indentations/undulations are more noticeable in tires with taller sidewalls or operate at higher inflation pressures. Fortunately sidewall indentations are a cosmetic condition that does not affect the performance of the tires.
Tire casings are reinforced by multiple fabric cords encased side-by-side in a thin sheet of rubber. Radial ply tires feature one or more layers of cord (depending on the tire's required strength) that run parallel to each other from bead to bead (with each individual cord running up the sidewall, across the tread and down the other sidewall). Because of their "straight across" radial orientation, the overlaps where the sidewall cords are lap-spliced may cause indentations.
When the tire is being cured, it is pressed against its metal mold. However when the tire is mounted on a wheel and inflated to operating air pressures, it is free to expand. These overlapping splices may create slight indentations since the stretching capacity of the lap-splices is slightly less than the rest of the body ply. In reality, the splices are the most reinforced area of the tire's sidewall.
Since radial tires feature steel cord reinforcing belts under their treads to keep them flat, indentations only appears on the sidewalls.
TL:DR
It's normal, it's an "extra tough" spot that won't bulged with the air pressure
