Hey im a fairly new driver, only a month and a bit, it was late at night and I did not see a curb and i drove over a curb quite fast, now my two right hand side tires look either burst or deflated and their is a crunchy noise when i drive at the front right wheel, also the car pulls heavily to the right. I have insurance, no breakdown cover as of yet, in the morning I will take a closer look at it, but from this text alone can anyone give me any advice as to what to do, should I just replace the two tires myself? or Get some professional help without involving my insurance company.

So you hit a curb going quite fast as you said and now have two low or flat tires and not real sure which but said it pulls and grinds - right?
#1. Sorry it happened and try not to again.
#2. Driving on a flat tire if it was any good probably wrecked at least the tire(s) - was mistake to do that.
#3. You want to fix this somehow without involving anyone - doubt that.
It's got to be inspected for what more could have happened other than just tires. Two flats about means tow it only or at a minimum bring those two wheels into a shop and check out just those wheels and tires to put back on, then car may move but not known if other damage.
In short - tow it to a shop that can fix or replaces tires, wheels, anything else that broke, align the car and declare it safe to use again. Done deal,
