Got two bubles on front tires

Probably hit a pothole and got two bubbles (one on each front wheel) on Audi's tires (damaged cords)

I have a brand new full size spare - so I think I will buy one tire and and put on a spare as another one - this way I get two new tires on same axel.

But I am thinking about trading in the car

So - should I fix it ? Or just trade it in ?

Is it noticeable? Trade it in. I doubt the dealer will care if you put on new tires.

It is, I may be drove with it for a week - but you can see it if you look at the tires.
May be if I rotate the tires so it is on inside of rear wheels- it will be very hard to catch....

Hey, Kirill, long time no see. How bad are the bubbles/bulges? The worse they are, the you're playing roulette with risking a blowout.

I understand your situation though. I wouldn't want to spend money just to lose it.
