I noticed the below lump on the outer wall of my front nearside tyre, anyone know if this requires changing and if so how urgently? The tyre has only done 3,500 miles so I'm pretty annoyed as I expect I should change both front tyres and it'll be almost £500 for the pair.

I've tried to give some perspective with the key. The lump is not big really, hence my adding the arrows to the photo to point it out.

Alloy has never been kerbed (it's filthy dirty though!) and the only thing I think could have caused this is me bouncing out of an enormous pothole at 35 mph. And then doing it again a week later in the same one :-(

thought as much :-(

thanks for all the replies. I can't imagine Surrey council will even entertain the idea of chipping in to pay for this one.
