While cleaning my bike earlier today I noticed that when you spin the rear wheel, the tyre bulges out at one point. You can't see it when the wheel is stationary, only when you spin it and see the profile change. Below is a Youtube video of the wheel spinning:

There's nothing obviously wrong when looking at the tyre and deflating/inflating it doesn't make any difference. I haven't had a chance to take off the tyre and inspect the inside.
I don't know how long it's been like this but don't really want to have the tyre blow out so I've not ridden it since I've spotted this.
Is it time to get a new tyre? Or is it something to just keep an eye on?
Thanks
