Had it happen to myself and others with Smokes many years back. The sidewall would actually come away from the bead, the last one actually going within an hour of putting it on and riding.The importer was very helpful with mine, insisting it was my fault because I had badly set up brakes that had rubbed the wall away,and still refused to help when told I had disc brakes.Their loss as I haven't touched their products since, and never recommend them to any customers either.

What do you reccomend I do?

1. Keep riding till it blows

2. Replace it now

Your choice mate,but being on a tyre that lets go 15 miles from nowhere's not my idea of fun.To be honest, it doesn't look like it's quite in the same area as ours were, so you may be fine if you keep an eye on it, and a big square of damp-proof course for patching it.
