Curbed, does it need a new tire?
Hi,
First time poster so hopefully I this is in the right place.
I let someone use my car today and they missed a curb in the parking structure and rashed 3/4th of lip of the rim and took a chunk out of the tire. I wasn't there so I'm not sure how fast it met the curb. Hopefully no alignment issues.
I'm thinking it might be cheaper to just replace the rim than to repair it.
As far as the tire with the chunk missing does it look like that needs replacement as well? They have 6 months (6,000mi) of wear and one AutoX. I intend to take the car the track at some point for HPDE (100mph+) so safety is of major concern. Since this is the rear axel I'll probably need to replace both at the same time right?
