I drive a 2009 Nissan Cube with the CVT transmission. I hit a curb and now I've got a sidewall tire bubble. I've been driving on it for a year. Should I replace the tire or is it okay to drive?

of course replace it.

Replace it. The tire could experience a catastrophic blowout at any moment while driving and at highway speeds this could be disastrous for you as well as any other drivers involved with the loss of control over your car. Plus you would be liable for all personal injury and property damage which you cause.

I remember back in the s'70 I had spent a fortune on Perelli tires. 1st scuff and they bulged out. They blew up a short time later. Your living on borrowed time. I would park the car and bring the wheel to the tire store and have it replaced. Obviously by asking the question you prove you all ready knew the answer.
