Hi guys,

I have 18" AMG wheels, I accidentally drove over a 4" curb side while turning in a tight parking lot with my rear right wheel at almost idle speed. I can't visually see anything wrong with tire or wheel also I didn't notice anything after driving for few miles. What do I need to check? should I take to the dealer for inspection? do you think that would affect rear suspension?

PS: I have tire/wheel plus warranty.

Thanks!

 

If you can't see any damage and don't feel change then nothing to do! Must have been lucky with going over the curb at low speed and correct angle. Whenever I do something like this will end up with scratched wheel....... curb corner, or wheel parallel with the curb....

 

if there isn't any visual damage and since you were going really slow, you are fine!

 

Cool! Thanks guys for your help!

 

If you turned while your wheel was facing the direction of the curb at idle speed then there's a 99.9% chance that there is absolutely nothing wrong.

Had you hit it at like 20+ mph, you may have bubbled your tire or bent your rim.

Don't worry about it@

 

It was less than 5 miles " almost idle speed. And i hit the angel" corner" of the curb. Didn't see any bubles on the outside, and pressure still the same, no changes. Do you think it might buble from inside?

 

No, you're being paranoid! Most small bumps in the road are more viscious than that and they won't do anything.

I hit constant uneven roads on the highway here doing 60 mph and my tires are still minty fresh.
