Hey gang;
I think I know the answer, but thought I would ask community the brain trust.
The passenger front tire on the wife's 2003 Sable, 215/60/16 Continental, has developed some sort of bulge/aneurysm in the sidewall. Tire has 28,000 miles on it and is three years old.
I believe the wife must have found a pot hole the size of Cleveland and broke some belts in the tire.
The questions. Should it be replaced? Should I get two tires?

get a new pair and have the front end aligned and do it fast, unless you and the wife are not on good terms...

Buy 2 tires and get the alignment. Keep the good tire for a full spare if not equipped.

MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.
Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.
IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

Replace all four tires. Best prices at Costco or BJ's IMO.
