After taking my friend to lunch and doing 4 go-kart races I accidentally hit a granite cub

The curb ripped a huge gash in the front tire and ripped a small amount out of the rear off. Luckily I have 4 spare tires from my old yaris and my steelie is just lightly dented, but I doubt the hubcap will fit, rofl.

If you look hard you can see the gash next to the dent across the "D"

wow you hit that pretty hard... (not that I have much to say about accidents right now

)

rofl, no I thought I was 2 feet from the curb and like freaked out when I hit it and hear the pop of the tire. If it was a regular curb I would have been fine but those fancy ass granite bricks suck, didn't even damage a brick.

I always feel weird driving my car after go karting. I usually cruise the block once slowly to get settled.

Sorry to see/hear that.

Had to drive through those "steps" on the freeway this morning. Turned on my wipers again! I looked at my rims, no bends. No vibrations while driving too, luckily.

Any damage to the front end?

RacerFreakXXX · 07-26-2009, 08:16 PM

OMG I hate those things, I always get worried one day my tire is just gonna blow and I'm gonna get into a huge car accident. But I never do so it's all good. (knock on wood)

Nope everything seems fine, Yaris is a monster truck... I'm more worried about my alignment. Happy I have a set of tires from my old 07, so I'll just replace the 2 side tires and move them to the rear and put the good ones on the front. will that screw anything up if they are different treads on the front and rear? I don't think so, but not 100% on that.
