Got some curb rash the other day, and it looks like a small piece of rubber got torn off the rim protector.

I’ve seen people say “no cords showing, no problem,” but just wanted to double-check if that applies here too.

I also noticed a small outward bulge on the tire. It’s pretty subtle, so I only caught it this time after looking closely, but I assume it’s probably been there for the past ~10,000 miles.

Does this look like something that could have been caused by a pothole? And should I assume the tire needs to be replaced soon because of the bulge? (driver side front tire in the last pic)

Thanks!
