That's what I was wondering. We just had all 4 of our (old) Goodyear Endurance tires replaced with new ones. One of them looked like it had a defect/bubble on the sidewall. When I questioned the tire installer, he showed us that it was where the rubber/ply was overlapped. All the tires had it, 3 of them it didn't show up that much but one of them it was quite a bit more obvious.
We have friends who took their truck in because they had the same thing on their truck (Goodyear) tires. The tire dealer said that's normal.
OP, I'd consider that the installer was trying to sell you on new tires (from him).Last edited by livinthelife; 09-02-2021 at 11:04 AM.

It's possible they are the overlapped sidewall as suggested, but I don't know enough about tires to know that as fact.
Some are worse than others, some are "indented" but all are protruding out.
In DO like the suggestion of taking them to a GY dealer and I will do just that.
Thanks for that suggestion.Jay Leonard

Thanks for that link, glad it was not a violation.
What I have is no where near as extreme as what those pics show, especially the pic showing 2 humps or bubbles.
I'm going to take one of them to a local GY store tomorrow and listen to what they say. Might go to 2 of them as they both are pretty close to home.Jay Leonard

I just talked with my son who owns and operates an automotive repair shop in Connecticut. And while I wouldn't call him a tire expert, he knows a lot and sees a lot.
He actually had one GY Endurance tire at his shop, same size and also E rated. If he is understanding what I am describing , it is a normal condition, where the plies overlap as what was stated above.
He calls it "undulation" and he says its characteristic of a "lower end" tire and considers trailer tires lower end in that most people are not fussy about what they look like.
He also said he has had to explain that to lots of his customers as even some of the tire guys don't understand.
He also said no to bother taking one to a GY store, but I think I will anyway (don't tell my son).Jay Leonard

I think you have a shop trying to sell you new tires for no reason. The extra plies in trailer tire make every lap drastic. Nonetheless, you'd be covered by the tire warranty on a new rig.

A picture of the tires would be very educational.
