Hit a pothole and damaged right front tire, what do you think?
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/22393/damage.jpg"></center><p>I hit a nasty pothole on the way home and I now have a large "bulb" on the side of the Conti tire. I replaced it with the SP9000 spare and will see if I can get it repaired.
When I hit I heard a large "clunk" and then I saw the damage to tire. Do you think this can be repaired? Anything else I should look for? Thanks.

If it were me, I'd replace the tire. And check the rim too.
I wouldn't want to take the chance of blowing the tire at speed or under load. A bubble like that doesn't look good, IMO.
