Tire problem
I just noticed an egg-shaped and sized bulge on the sidewall of my right rear tire. The tires are the original Dunlop 8000s with 2,500 miles on them. I know this is bad, but how bad? Can I drive on it? Should I put the spare on and limp to get it serviced? I plan on having snows put on next Friday. Can it wait? Any thoughts? Covered under Dunlop's warranty? TIA.

Could be a manufacturing defect or you came too close to a curb.
However with my experince on my 8000s - my wheel was gouged when I hit the curb backing up - so I would suspect it is a mfr defect. I would take it in and have it checked out today by a tire shop that does warranty work for Dunlop to see if you can wait till Friday. Suspect you can. Should be covered by Dunlop, but I don't know if you can get the 8000Es easily here in the US. Understand there are some difference in the E vs nonEs.
