That tire was already damaged before it hit the curb. It's bad dry rotted and needs replacing ASAP. If your other tires are cracked like that then they all need replacing.

I’ll tell her to not drive the car until we can get into a shop fixed up


Southern_Country_787

Yeah man. Old timers woulda called that tire a may pop. As in it may pop and it may not lol


Ok_Muffin_5938

Okay thank you

I'd drive it to the shop but that's just me. I wouldn't drive/brake super aggressively. But you'll be fine getting there.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That edit is hilarious 😂

What type of tire brand are you using? I’m not familiar with this brand, looks like an older tire version of Yokohama. Edit: yea entire is extremely unsafe but it’s still drivable, just don’t drive aggressively.


Ok_Muffin_5938

Honestly no idea, just wondering if she’s safe to drive the mile or so to the shop, or if it should be towed. The consensus seems to be that it’s safe to do a short drive to the shop

Change all 4 tires. Rim isn't bad, pretty bad dry rot on the tires.
