Hit Curb----Popped 2 Tires----So Pissed OFF

[95silver]

Yesterday I hit a curb driving about 25mph and the tires suddenly lost air, I could hear the air gushing out. Both passenger tires, have a small 1" rupture in between the rim protector lip and the rim. I bought them from Tire Plus with a road hazard warranty, but when I took them in today, they aren't covered by the damage :( . I have to buy 2 new ones. They are $149.99 each, but they pro-rate them. So they are only $100 each. Incuding instillation, it's $250. I'm soo pissed off. This sucks *** :mad: :mad: :mad: .

Did you do any other damage? Maybe tie rods, wheel bearings, ball joints, bent rims? If not then you are probably getting off cheap if you hit the curb that hard.

No other damage(that I know of ;) ). Just the tires. Today Tire Plus told me that the they have to order the tires from Firestone's factory, and they won't be here until next Wednesday or Thursday :( . They are Bridgestone Potenza RE-730, 245/50ZR 16's. I have bent a front spindle before, so I hope it's ok. I will probably get an alignment when I get the new tires on next week. Anyone know of some good alignment specs for stock ride height???
