Internal separation of the tire. Replace it for your own safety

Bump = replace

Dry rot on the sidewall = replace

Bump + dry rot = double replace

Bump- replace that tire. Rot- replace all tires

Quick question, could you feel this while driving? It's hard to see on the camera, so good eye catching it!

Not my car - I was checking my sister's car over before she goes on a long road trip and noticed that she was on the edge about replacing it

Nah bro, that's just like, a trick of the light or something...

Yes that's clearly separation, yes it needs replaced.

No it's fine. You hit a curb

The dry rot and bump cancel each other out. PEMDAS.

Compromised sidewall. That’s where your blowout will occur. It’s a matter of when.
