Hi all, I would like some expert opinion on something if possible. I hit a kerb during bad weather after exiting a roundabout, and this left my alloy scratched and my tyre sliced on the sidewall as shown on these pictures. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1lfmcsvLR7JbHnskDlcNw3Gz2Eqv4o9Ju https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JhHQAeuswW5QXzacNL94PmCl8j_6kj0V https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JhHQAeuswW5QXzacNL94PmCl8j_6kj0V I stopped to check the damages and drove back home for another 20 miles without noticing any vibration in the steering wheel and the car still drove straight without leaning to the left or to the right. Do you guys think it is worth me bringing the car to a garage to have the tyre checked and running the risk of them flogging me new tyres anyway, or does it look ok? Many thanks.
I’d stick a new tyre on to be safe. It’s the only thing holding you to the tarmac at the end of the day.
