The daily check revealed a significant bulge mostly on the rolling surface of my front tire (cheapy 700x38c whose brand has faded into illegibility), the bulge being about two inches long and changing the outer radius by about 5mm. Inside the diagonal strands seem to be unbonding. So it's been replaced with a spiffy new Schwalbe Marathon, which is the proverbial canine's reproductive organs.
But I'm curious: is this simply a function of running overpressure? (My bad, running a 50 psi max tire at 65 psi...). Or damage from potholes? Or just a bad tire?

I'd say a stone or pothole damage. Even cheap tyres seem reasonably well put together these days. And expenxive tyres can fail just as easily .. 😉
