Bulge in side wall of SP8000's

I was washing my car today when I noticed that one of my SP8000's has developed a verticle wrinkle/bulge about 1/2" wide that sticks out maybe 3/16" in the sidewall. They are factory sport pkg tikes w/11,000 miles. Should I be concerned about this?

Nope, maybe a pot hole or two, but this tire is on the rear.
