Sounds like you'll need to replace that, can you get a pic?
Never seen an "inside bump" just outside.
Good luck.

if it petrudes to the outside it is a sidewall shift, if it goes inside the tire, like a small dimple, its a mold mark...FYI

he is right. concave "bubbles" came from the factory like that. very common in cheaper tires(cheaper goodyears have this happen a lot). protruding bubbles cannot be fixed and the tire needs to be replaced

Crazy, never heard of that. Does it develope or would you see it right after they were mounted?

on that im not sure, i would think it could be seen right when they're new, but how often do you go over a brand new tire with a fine tooth comb ya know?
