Are you talking about the "lip" around the corner of the tire?

Is this on the inside corner? And does it do that around the entire tire? Or does it just bulge in one area?

It seems like the tire was over-inflated, and kept at a very high psi for a long period of tire and/or several hundred/thousands of miles, specially if the tire was dry rotted (kept in the sun or garaged for months without moving, or both). What psi do you usually keep them at? 34-36psi is usually the recommended for the typical vq35 application, but it can vary slightly. Some tires with soft walls are pumped a little more to compensate and improve handling during turns.

I believe that the reason the "bulge" stops by the sides is because of the reinforcement from the sidewalls, which is keeping it from rising like the rest of the tire.

Check your psi after the car has been parked for a while (to make sure that the air inside isn't expanded from the heat of the tire rolling), and go from there.

That's what I was thinking. It didn't seem like abnormal wear, but something wrong with the tire itself. Kinda bizarre, but you're descriptions seem to make a lot of sense. I'm just wondering if damage has been done to the tire already. Last thing you want is sidewall separation at 70+mph.

Yep. Inner shoulder.

it bulges sporadically around the inner shoulder. not continuous.

Air pressure was 36-37 psi's around the whole car. I check it in the morning about once a week to make sure there's no air leakage. I daily the car.

my mechanic said it was a faulty tire with incorrect toe. we were gonna flip the tires but I noticed a crack on that tire that wasn't there when I took the pictures yesterday.

Could have had a blow out on the free way.
