Re: Bent rim / damaged tire - what do I replace? Posted by MJM [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Bent rim / damaged tire - what do I replace?, Paul ![]() |
Couple options here. Obviously the surest thing to do is replace the tire, an impact serious enough to bend the rim and break the seal could have damaged cords inside the tire; depending on how new the tires are you might want to replace both on that end of the car. Next step down: a tire shop might be able to inspect the inside of the tire and tell whether it's damaged or not. If so you'd probably end up buying the replacement tire(s) from them. Last, and not advised, is to just put the tire on the new rim. Leakage isn't the only sign of damage, though. If a/the cord/s are damaged you could get in a condition where the tire would rapidly disintegrate. That would be bad. Can't help you on the source.
