[ADVICE] I didn't die, but there's a big bulge on my tyre ... ?

[Taurean]

I'm with Tinks, new tyre I'd say. Bummer

[Phteven]

I'm glad you walked away safely.

What the other people said.
Put your spare on, get the tyre replaced and your wheels checked. After DH had a bingle in my car the wheel alignment was off so you might want to get your wheel alignment checked so you don't need to replace all your other tryes prematurely.

The tyre is de-laminating. Sometimes it happens on the sidewall, most often on the tread section. I have had this happen to a spare in the boot! Don't drive on it, worst case it can blow, best it will just vibrate. It can not be repaired. Let me know if you need a tyre shop, I will probably be able to give ypu details of some decent places, depending on whereabouts in Melbourne you are.
