no. replace NOW!

Not. This is a separation, and the tire could easily fail at that point. Replace it.

I think a blowout could ruin your whole day. I don't know what kind of accident, but your insurance adjuster should have looked at that tire. Please, find your spare and take the other to a tire store to get a replacement. There might be a warranty on the tire. Call :) Don't drive, though. :)

Good Luck!

Not safe. the inner cords have ruptured and air is escaping to the outer rubber casing.Replace asap.

No, once you have sidewall separation, your tire will blow eventually. It is only a question of when and where. It might happen at the most inconveniencing of times or it might happen driving at high speeds and could cause an accident if you are caught off guard. The best advice as all the others have posted before me is to change it ASAP.

It will be perfectly safe sitting in youre driveway. I would'nt try to drive on it though.

A bulge in the tire is a sign that the inner wall is punctured. Sometimes the tire can last for months but most of the time the tire is not safe at all. If I were you, I would get it replaces as soon as possible and if you can't do it right away, at least check your spare to make sure you are prepared for when it goes flat.

depends on what the bulge is, you can have some bulges from belts moving which is normal. if it is a bulge like a golf ball get it replaced now.

If you decide to wait on changing the tire i would at least make sure i had a jack, four way, and spare tire in my trunk.

Replace it because it is very dangerous to drive and you will have a blow out.

Your tire is in a HIGHLY DANGEROUS state - replace it NOW.

If you drive the car with the tire in that condition, you are committing a criminal offence.
