HI, Guys. If you guys can help me out I'll greatly Appreciated it. I keep getting bubble/ **** of the sidewall on my front wheels (OEM Wheels 225/45R17). Right now I need to go out buy all new tires in a day or two.

Can I upgrade to a bigger tire for my Daily Driver, Such as a 225/50R17. Will it Rub? Issues?

I know Plus Zero size would be 215/50R17 but I heard the narrow tire would be all over the place.

Nyc streets are horrible and low profiles don't last long. I just need tires that will last me commuting back and forth to work. Thanks You Guys.

Chances are its not the tire size but the tire brand that causing it to bubble.

Tire quality issue really. I had an instance where I ran over/hit a 4" thick tree "log" in the road and I started to get a shimmy in the steering wheel at higher speeds. Took it to Discount Tire, where I got the BFGs, and they said there was a small bubble formed because of the damaged steel belting.

Either you keep hitting things (curbs/debris) or potholes are not being nice to you.

GL!

My bmw friend has this happening all the time with NYC cars. Especially with run flats.

there is tire insurance that you can get, its good for 3 years. like $350 and it covers the tire fully no matter what happens, if you want i will get you the info.

Well, there is always 205/55R/16. All you need is a 16x7.0 wheel.
