I'd take it to a tire shop, have them take a look. They can also check for bends in other areas that you wouldn't be able to see.

JB Weld, maybe... but I fear it wouldn't hold up to mounting the tire. Depends on just where the issue is, I suppose.

No tubes in radial tires (so I've heard). The flexing of the sidewall rubs on the innertube, causing friction and excess heat, resulting in tire failure.

I picture would be great! Upload to imgur.com (my most recent favorite) or some other hosting site, then copy the picture's URL from your browser's navigation bar, and paste it where it says "IMAGE URL" below.
