Well I bought some new wheels the other day but the tire on one I noticed looks like it might have a small sidewall bubble going on wondering what you guys think

It is on the left side of the yokohama symbol.

Doesn't look TOO bad. Make sure it doesn't get worse.

Nothing beats these two Firehawks that came with my car. They looked like they had acne they had so many bubbles. One had to be poking out almost an inch.

yes, its an impact bubble. most likely from a pothole. i work at discount tire and i see these daily. yours isnt too bad but i still wouldn't ride on it for too much longer. ive seen them bubble out about 4 inches, those ones are NUTS lol
