Hit a curb...thoughts? :(
I was moving cars this morning (I live in a townhouse with limited parking), and we have one of those sewer inlets/runoffs in front of my house on the opposite side of the road; my front tire kind of got stuck in the slope/hole, and as I was trying to gas out of it I clipped the corner of the curb pretty hard as I wasn't able to turn in time due to the wheel being wedged in the hole. I took a chunk out of the side wall of my tire and scraped up my rim bad. :\ The tire doesn’t look very safe to drive on anymore, I've attached a couple pics of the damage.
What do you guys think, is there a way I can salvage this with the tires I have or will I have to buy two new front ones? I have about 16k miles on these right now from when I bought it new. And what should I do about the rim, is there a cheap way to cover up the scrapes?
