could be just a bad bead leak, in which case, bring it back to whoever mounted the tire and tell them to check it.. thay should fo that for free.. or it could be a cracked rim... pull the rim and tire off the car and sink it in a tub of water, where ever the bubbles are coming from is where your leak is.

If it's bulging when filled, you need a NEW tire ASAP. that's a serious safety hazard as it means the area it's bulging if fail;ing and weak and WILL blow out on you eventually, hopefully not when you're doing 70+ on the highway. There's NO if's and's or but's about that, get that thing replaced quick!

ya dude, get that tire off ASAP, it may even be advisable to run on a spare until you do.... that may be safer...
