Need to replace?

[hiwasss]

So i hit the curb and this is a result. Do I need to get new tires or I should be fine?

That sucks man, i can relate. Imo you should be fine without changing the tire.

I did exactly the same thing with my A5, and it took a chunk just like that out of one of my tires. I freaked out and figured I ruined the tire, but when I took it to local shop I trusted, they said it was OK. I'd keep an eye on it just to be sure it doesn't bubble especially when it gets hot out.

Your fine, super glue it back, and if your tires are not directional you can have them flip that to the inside.

It does not look very deep so I think you will be fine.

I would get the rim repaired though as it is a little unsightly

Thanks for the insight everyone!

As the others have stated that is a non issue, you basically tore a bit of the extra rubber designed to help protect the edge of the wheel lip. either glue down or cut that piece off and then get some matte black paint and touch up your wheel. Unless you're specifically looking for it, nobody will ever notice.

Where did you buy the tires? Tire Rack will send you a new one if you purchased through them.

I did the same thing to one of my tires and at first freaked out a bit but then realized it wasn't losing air and its been fine since.

Your good keep on getting it. Unless you see steel then your fine. Rock it.

I did the same thing a month ago and it's been ok. I thought I had damaged the entire right side of the car, so I was relieved when I got out and saw it was just the tire and wheel, like yours. Can the wheel be refinished?

and keep in mind if for any reason you decide to replace the tire - you'll need at least the opposite side axle tire if not all four.....

AWD has demands that require the tires remain in close proximity to each other in rotational diameter - to keep the diffs from binding up and tearing themselves apart - so you can never replace just one tire......

You're fine. You scraped the part that is intended to help protect the wheel lip. I did the same thing (gasp) as well. Had the shop double check it- they confirmed it's ok.
