a bulging tyre, it is important to understand why it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In many cases, the cause comes from driving habits that people repeat without realising the damage being done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:26px\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hitting_Potholes_Hard_or_Scraping_Curbs\"><\/span><strong>Hitting

class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This is the most common cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">When a vehicle hits a pothole hard or the wheel strikes a curb while parking or turning, the impact force can be strong enough to damage the internal tyre cords instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The tyre may still look normal on the outside, but a

aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This forces the internal structure to absorb the shock directly instead of the air cushion inside the
