Take it back to where you bought it and you`ll have to get a new one for the time been and they will send the damaged one back to the manufacture for testing to find out if it has impact damage or cord seperation.

generally speaking, its unlikely if its a cheaper brand that you will ever get anything back from it.

Have you ever let it get low and then drive on it and pumped it up after? May have damaged the cords and your getting the buldges from that.

Think camskill buy containers of toyo's but I can't remember who off so it may possibly have to pass through the hands of several suppliers before you get told no. Can take months some times.

Is it under the 6 months?

If it is under 6 months, the Sale of Goods Act they have to prove it was your wrong doing and not theirs. Afters 6 months, you have to prove.

Google it.

hmm it on the inside not the out side surely its pretty difficult to kerb the inside, and the wheel is fine, think its the runing a couple of mile with 6psi thats done it

Impact damage will more than likely be hitting a pothole or something similar rather than kerbing
