I finally curbed my tire when parking on my street today, the bad part isnt even the scuff on my rim its the fact that the curb has a huge edge to it and thats the part i hit which took off a piece of the rim protector or whatever you call it of the tire, the piece that sticks out a bit. I hope its not leaking slowly, i guess I'll find out in a few hours.

 

curb appeal

 

Curb Feelers?....haha

Nah the Tire Rim Protector is just a thick piece of rubber...if it got messed up there should be NO leak....Thats what they are made to do!...Protect ur wheel!

 

Yeah, I dont think there is a leak, it just sucks. The chunk out of it is a pretty decent size too. I just dont want to increase my chance for a blowout or anything along those lines either. Might just replace it eventually. Anyone know how much I can pick up a OEM tire for? I can get it mounted and balanced for free.

 

OEM tires run $188 a piece NOT worth it..

U can get a BETTER and Wider performance tire cheaper...Get some Falken Azenas!!!

 

That sux, are you sure that and OEM tire would be $188 TeeCizzle? (That seems kinda high.) Idk though, tires can cost alot these days, especially if just buy one.

 

Yeah, OEM Bridgestone 'Suck'tonzas are terrible. Pick up some Falken Ziex ZE-912s or Kumho Ecsta ASTs for way cheaper.

 

After 24,000 miles I put news tires on my tC. i shopped around, first place i asked was the dealer. (i felt like getting a chuckle lol). Out the door, with balance and all that suff, it was gonna cost me a purtty $900 and somethin. IT WAS ALMOST A GRAND. i knew they were gonna be steep, but come on......
so i went and got some at Leshwab (awesome warranty )

 

LOL don't feel bad. We haven't curbed the rims, but daughter 9who we took the car away sure had) needless to say two of the tires even have rip/tear on the side wall, along with scared up rims. Sucks. Hope those tires last for a little longer or pray that we don't have a blow out!

 

the first night i got my tc my i scraped my rim of a parking lot island at quick check. the first night my friend got his tc, he scraped his rim turning a corner. mine is barely noticable. his is fuuuuudged up

 

Well after further examination(it was raining when i did it so i wasn't ambitious about standing in the rain) I am not at risk for a blow out, the tire will be fine because the piece that came out wasn't actually part of the functional tire it was just the guard. Unfortunately yeah the rim has a scuff but I think I might use that for motivation for different rims in the summer and if not then I will just buy an OEM rim off ebay or something. But for the winter it can stay on there, especially considering we just got our first snow today.

 

my rims have no pothole or curb damage but 2 of them are peeling for some stupid ___ reason. idk its really ___.

 

Falken A bro, lol ..... I don't have any experience with Falkens, are they any good?

 

Yea i hear ya i was coming into work dis morning and this lady decides to put her can in the middle of the entrance and here's me trying to pull in without hitting her and a car coming up behind me pretty quick so i make the turn knowing it was gonna be tight and WHAM!! i ate the curb. the lady looks at me like im crazy but i was like w/e. lil scuff not that serious.
