I know what you mean. This past winter I ran over a pot hole and it put bulges on the left tires front and back. I was lucky enough to find a place that has the 195/55/15's. I got some Yokohama YK520's on the car now.

you mean there's a hole at the sidewall of the tire? if so, it's not
repairable.

if it's in the contact patch of the tire you can plug it up with those
plug-up kits.

kinda like this one:
