In the meantime I thought I'd ask the BNA brainstrust..
Would you ride on these?? (ignore the brand/make/model and pretend your brand x/make y/model z tyres look like these)

Also examine the tyre carcass for damages at that spot. It could well be a twisted/poorly mounted inner tube. BTW, use some talc powder on the inner tube.

AUbicycles wrote:With these tires and the photos it looks like a material defect and probably would have affected an entire batch and exactly like yours - on the red stripes and not the black rubber. This type of effect usually first appears when the rubber is old (so good reason to avoid tires that have been sitting around too long).
Was the buldge in the tire or the inner tube? If it was the tire, then a lot of things have gone wrong and really something that should lead to a general recall unless the brand can clearly isolate both of these problems as exceptional.
