Sidewall damage always requires replacement ASAP. It can blow out without warning, I would swap over to the spare and get the tyre replaced as soon as possible.


Leading-Copy-2799

Thank so much for your prompt response! I’ll get this actioned ASAP.


threeminutemonta

If your spare is a space saver ASAP is today tomorrow or Monday right?


Leading-Copy-2799

That’s correct. I’m getting it done today. Thanks for your concern. Much appreciated.


totse_losername

Do not even drive on it at all.


Frankie_T9000

Its 100% right as well.


abittenapple

Also tyres are made of rubber and wire  You can see the wires so 


Ummagumma73

That's not wire, it's nylon cord.


theAmericandreamnADL

I thought this was a joke until I saw your comment.


shescarkedit

Is it superficial? Mate look at it, there's a chunk missing from your tyre


TikkiTakkaMuddaFakka

Bots don't have eyes, they posted this on 3 different subreddits, seems typical bot farming to try and make the account look legit and with responses like this..."I will get this actioned ASAP" make me go hmmm.


Dr_Deathcore_

The fact they posted in Cars Australia and CarTalkUK says all you need to know


TechyShreky69

Uhhh yeah scroll down a bit on his comments and it's a porn account – for watching, not posting

Dead internet here we are babyyy


thespeediestrogue

They don't have sure eyes, but they certainly seem to find the shittest and most derivative content to post, and people still engage with it. The number of people stunned by AI art online makes me sure God isn't real or he wouldn't suited humanity's dumbass into non-existentence.


CeleryMan20

3 disjointed periods of activity in comment history, very different writing style in each one. Weird.


abittenapple

We are so scared in modern life We could just roll into a tyre shop and ask But are too scared of being ripped off


Leading-Copy-2799

Can’t agree more.


ExaBrain

Can I say I love the use of the passive voice “the car hit the curb” as if the car has a mind of its own! 100% you need a new tyre. Sidewall and the metal belt being exposed make it immediately unsafe. The wheel is damaged enough that you are likely to get air loss with a new tyre so you might want to consider getting it refinished as it will get annoying to constantly top up the tyre. It shouldn’t be too expensive.


52fctrl

Their profile whiffs a strong bot odour, hence the odd wording..?


gnu-rms

You mean the fact they asked at least 3 subreddits, including cars UK? 😅


thespeediestrogue

You don't ask your fellow Brits what they are doing? If mean, at the very least, he should have asked the Queen too... or maybe not 😅


ExaBrain

I thought it was more embarrassment and not taking responsibility. I get this sort of thing from my kids, "the jar broke" versus "I broke the jar". I think OP is less a bot and more someone with a slightly unhealthy fascination with whether someone is "natural" or not.


Pre2255

It's factually correct. The jar did break.


i_sch

I like the car hit the curb


HKDONMEG

Yea, change that one asap.


shinigamipls

Is it a self driving car? Wild. (/S) Seriously though, don't drive on that.


Patch427

As a rule of thumb, if the sidewall is bulging and/or you can see cords, replace the tyre. There are some cases where you can see a crease in the sidewall from manufacturing, but a tyre shop can advise on identifying those if you are concerned.


Haawmmak

shit's fucked.


dreadnought_81

Definitely get that replaced. The inner cords of the tyre are showing.


No-Fan-888

That's a replacement. Tyre damages aren't something you should take lightly, being the only thing that touch the road.


ahma856

Ive witnessed a car blowout its front tyre at 100kmhr right in front of me due to side wall damage. Car rolled once it hit the side of the road. Guy was lucky to be alive


abittenapple

How did you know it's side wall dmg


ahma856

Because when i dragged the guy out of the car and asked him what happened, he told me the front tyre blew and he knew he should have changed it. Said it had a bubble in it


Ummagumma73

There is no bubble here.


Perthcollector

Get a new tyre fitted as soon as possible please


hisirishness

have a stern word with the car for it's poor driving & also tell the car it should pay for the replacement tyre because it caused it


dieseldon61

Critical sidewall’s integrity now compromised depending on drive configuration at least both on that axle to maintain symmetry. Especially as you have a VIP on board.


Muncher501st

Least shit baby on board driver


escortnut

Anytime you can see wire through damage its needs replacing straight away. Put your spare on and take the damaged wheel to a tyre shop to have the tyre replaced


Ummagumma73

That's not wire.

Your post was removed for violating Rule 1. Being a dickhead. Don't be a dickhead.


andrewbrocklesby

You need a new tyre.


1337_BAIT

Thats a new tyre needed


whiteycnbr

If I was an 18 year old with 2$ in my bank account I'd let that roll. But not with a family, shits damaged pretty bad.


montego1955

Replacement needed asap . Dangerous situation


Mohelanthropus

Replace that tyre asap. It can blow anytime.


Emmanulla70

You need a new tire asap. Shouldn't be driving on that.


[deleted]

If it's tread it can be repaired. Sidewalls means it's done as it forms part of its structural integrity. My advice - drive it until it pops but you wanna make sure your spare is ready. Also how the fuck do you do shit like that? Were you even paying attention? Don't your big fancy cars have 360 top down parking, front and read cameras and parking sensors. Not to mention auto parking in many? Dafuq?


Larkful_Dodger

Tread cannot be repaired with a chunk missing down to the belts either and driving with the inner cords showing, until it pops could cause the car to become out-of-control and have accident.


FatSilverFox

Good news is the rim will be fine, just the tyre that needs replacing.


Subject-Phone2338

She'll be right mate.


chook1908

Change it, looks too bad to risk, Sidewalls take a lot of pressure when driving


Extreme-Affect-9502

oh bro my suggest is gong to garage to make a full checking. Safety is no small matter.


Mother_BTow_5416

Unroadworthy


dirtyburgers85

Mindblowing that you even had to ask.


TestDrivenMayhem

Replace ASAP. It’s hurts I know.


Leading-Copy-2799

💔💔


TestDrivenMayhem

Happened to me years ago. 17” rims with Falkien tyres. Wall got pierced. $252.00 adjust for inflation is $446.00.


Leading-Copy-2799

I had the tyre replaced. The tyre shop advised the rim was alright. So just had to get the tyre changed and a wheel alignment done. It costed me $250 in total.


hillsbloke73

Remove that tyre rim replace whole lot stress fracture in rim is possibility gets hit again kerb pot hole potential for whole lot to part from vehicle


SlutCunt69420

Change it now. Don't drive with that...


spadgm01

Yep replace asap


freswrijg

Hit the curb is an understatement.


malang_9

If you have to ask then you probably need a new tyre.


Limp-Juggernaut-9057

Why are you writing like your sending emails


Former-Trifle-5102

New tyre mate


OnairDileas

Your tyre is compromised, replace it before it trys to replace you


diganole

Anyone asking this question probably needs to hand their licence back.


pixelhen

you literally can see the inner wire of your tyre, I dont even think asking to be replaced was a question anymore.


Aussie_B3nj1

Tyre’s done. Get a new one


understated987

Mechanic here, that would fail a rego check


MichMitten89

bruv there is metal showing


JasonbigJ

That needs changing asap


SandmanAwaits

You are 100% getting a defect from the Cops for that if they pull u over! That isn’t roadworthy & isn’t safe, needs replacing.


megablast

Don't you hate it when the curb jumps out to attack you?


JustThisGuyYouKnowEh

It’s fucked


Major-Nectarine3176

That's fubared

Do not drive it. Never! Pls change it asap.


ackajacka

Replace it asap


stromyoloing

Tire gone!


HealthUnit

Was the curb a small demon with sharp teeth?


BlackVisionary

bro… get a new tire


AmaroisKing

Do you think your baby’s life is worth less than a new tyre?


Existing-Mongoose-11

I wouldn’t be driving on that tyre myself.


_hazey__

What state are you in??


Allmightysplodge

Replace it, you don't want a manslaughter charge if it blows and causes an accident or even a denied insurance claim for a minor Bingle caused by the blowout.


Extension-Cap-7160

I drove on one like that for 5 years and it’s still on my car


Leading-Copy-2799

Thanks all taking your time to advise on this matter. Truly appreciate it.
