Sign In Hi, I hit a high curb yesterday and it has damaged my alloy which is annoying, but I am more concerned as it has also damaged the tyre which is only a few weeks old This happened to me some years back and a garage said I should be OK. I am not sure what to look out for and or whether I will be OK in this situation so if anyone can advise it would be much appreciated. My thanks, Jamie Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Apr 25, 2014, 1:32 AM Post #2 of 3 (1261 views) Re: 2010 Seat Ibiza 1.4tdi 60k - Tyre Damage - OK or not? Sign In That tire is junk but wheel might be fixable. Search out wheel repair or know exact pattern and see if a known good used is available. They don't give alloy wheels away new or used anywhere I know of. Could be hidden damage to wheel so I would drive that one anymore till known, T nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Apr 25, 2014, 6:36 AM Post #3 of 3 (1240 views) Re: 2010 Seat Ibiza 1.4tdi 60k - Tyre Damage - OK or not? Sign In From the pic it looks like the rim just got a little scuff and is fine. It can be sanded and buffed out if the looks of the rim are important to you. That tire needs to go as Tom said. It is heavily gouged on the sidewall near the bead, and although it may hold air now and if it has a lot of tread you would be tempted to use it you shouldn't. The location of the damage is in such a place that when this fails you will have no warning and the tire will basically explode its air out fast while driving. That will destroy this rim and could cause an accident. Put on your spare until you get the tire replaced on that rim.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
