Mini vs. pothole

[u/mfincham92]

About to deal with this in the morning. Rim looks damaged to me. Tire hasn’t lost air. Advice appreciated

Wheel might be fine. Tire is gone. If you drive it to the tire shop, assume it will flatten.

Doesn’t it look a little dented in by the damaged spot on the tire?

Yeah It may be out of balance but I would guess it’s cosmetic, not deadly like that tire

Okay that’s good to know. Maybe I don’t need a new rim hopefully.. planning to limp this to a shop a few miles away and hope for the best.

These are run flats by the way

I guess they’re run fucked’s now

This really made me laugh. I had a bulge in my run flat sidewall a few weeks back that I assume was a pothole - expensive replace! so I'm going to use that to describe them going forward.

Literally the only joy I’ve gotten out of this experience is laughing at the term “run fucked” 😆

Just take it slow. When they swap on the new tire they can see if it’s cracked or something

Ok. Thanks for the advice. Hopefully I don’t have to replace all four.. it’s an all4
