Couple of quick things...
1. If your going through the gears hard,....or extreme high speeds with the active handleing left on...IT WILL THROW CODES. Turning thr car on and off quickly, should erase this code. If code stays, then you have more of a problem.
Tire monitor problem,...could be most likely due to low air in tires. Or,...the wheel sensors need to be reprogrammed,...which requires a large magnet,..and kinda sucks.
If you can get the exact code, I could help you out.
There are ways of getting the codes in your car, without useing a scanner. I just can't remember the exact sequence, since I hardley use the method since I have my own diagnostic tool.
See if you can do a search on a corvette forum....for on board diagnostics,...for the do it yourselfer...

Ok. The bulge, in my opinion would cause the pressure to be off in the tire(s). Get rid of that thing man,...not safe. Is it saying you have LOW PRESSURE? If so, what happens when you put air in it? Go away or no?
Check the code, and post it.
Let me know pimpin
