Hi Scotty,
I changed this tyre and it completely bulged out like a massive tumour, approx. 1/3 of the tread side of the tyre. Attatched is a picture. How does this happen?
The tyre had ~38 psi in it when checked with a pressure guage, though I let all the air out of the valve before changing it.

Tyre Bulging - How does this Happen?
- poor manufacturing
- Old tyres (hard to read ... are they stamped 2017?)
- Over or under-inflation
- exceeding tire load rating
- exceeding tire speed rating
- Poor puncture repair
- Road hazards
- Poor mechanic condition of vehicle suspension
Turns out Bob Jane was a tax dodging low life who owed people a lot of money.
Broken cords and/or belts internally.
To me, the picture shows consequences of a vehicle having been standing for a prolonged period of time with this tire deflated. Scratches on the rim also show that maybe someone even attempted driving with this tire deflated, making things even worse. The cord wires inside got bent with a too small radius and broke. This is sort of normal behavior. Dont let a car just shand there with tires deflated.

You did not say how old the tire is. If it's relatively new, say less than 50,000 miles this may be a manufacturing defect covered under a warranty. Just a thought.
