Bubble in tire...OK to replace one tire?

Question:
I hit a massive pothole on my way to work today, and noticed when I got home a nice bubble on the tire. Its obvious it could burst. The tires have 17k miles on them. Will I have alignment issues replacing it with the same identical but new tire? Or do I need 4 new ones?

A lot of tire manufactures have a warranty against this kind of problem. The tire stores also offer road damange replacment I would check and see if you can get the same type of tire and have it replaced. It's best to replace them in pairs for even ware. while they are replacing them have them move the new tires to the rear and the old ones to the front.

You should get 4 new ones.

take the rear wheels off and rotate them to the front. 1 new tire in the rear=fine. but if you hit a pothole hard enough to break a bead, then youre probably going to have to get an alignment anyhow.
Replacing all 4 tires when one is damaged is a myth. It may have been true 50 years ago because of the poor quality rubber, but it is no longer true.

Your tires should have a lot of tread left on them and replacing one tire should be fine. If you are really concerned, or are replacing with a different tread design you probably should put the new tire on the rear if it was not already going there.

ith only 17K miles you shouldn't need 4 new ones yet. I would buy 2 though and put them on the front and have the front end aligned, I'm sure you knocked something out of whack.
