Could this be causing the vibration? And would it happen all of a sudden under normal driving conditions? Thanks, Dave
Ya, that bubble could cause imbalance.. I'd replace the tire.

A bubble will cause a vibration and you will need to replace all of the tires unless the tires are fairly new. Im not positive but I think 1/32 is the max difference you want with an AWD car.
