Very much so if it blows out.

-----------------------------------------

Yes. If there is a bubble in a tire, that means that the tire has what is called a separation. A separation happens when the tread on the tire peels away from the steel belts and fabric inside. Air then starts leaking into the space between the tread and steel, and creates a bulge in the tire, which is the bubble you can feel in the tire. A separation is extremely dangerous because a separated tire WILL blow out shortly after the bulge appears.

Can a bubble in a tire cause a wheel to bend?

No. it doesn't hav enough pressure to bend the rim, but it can be a very dangerous situation. If the bubble is more or less just a bump in the tire it is probably caused by the tire seperating. The threads that bind the tire have ruptured, and air is getting in between the layers of material causing the bubble. it is an accident waiting to happen.

Can you drive with a tire bubble?

Can you? Sure you can, but I would not recommend it. Air is leaking through the plies of the tire and bulging the sidewall. This has caused the sidewall to separate from the carcass of the tire. This will eventually leak to complete separation of the sidewall and tread as time goes on. My advice is to replace any tire with a bubble on the sidewall. This is a defective tire that you do not want to drive at highway speed on and risk an accident. I built tires at a General Tire plant so I have knowledge of how they are built and I would not drive on this tire.
