Hello!

So I'm the bike mechanic in the family, and my husband's tire suffered abrasion on the sidewall, as in these photos. The thing is, he's in another hemisphere right now so I have to make suggestions with only these pictures.





He reports a subtle bulge in the rubber, and though he hasn't actually looked at the interior, he says he doesn't think the inner side of the sidewall is visibly damaged.

Do you think there's a risk of blowout considering there is a very slight rubber bulge? Should the surface be treated? Since he's not in a developed country and I had to bring these nice Japanese Panaracers to him by plane, it's not easy to get a nice new tire.

Thanks!
