We attend kerb and pothole damage across Birmingham, Solihull, Sandwell and the Black Country, checking the wheel and tyre on scene to establish whether it's safe to continue on a spare or whether recovery is the sensible option.
What is actually going on
Checking for hidden damage
A hard kerb strike can also knock the wheel alignment (tracking) out or damage suspension components even if the wheel and tyre look fine. If the steering feels off after the impact even once the wheel's sorted, it's worth having the tracking and suspension checked at a garage.
What to look for after a hard impact
A visible crack in an alloy wheel, a noticeable bulge or lump on the tyre sidewall, a new vibration through the steering wheel at speed, or the car pulling to one side can all indicate wheel or tyre damage from an impact. A bulge on the tyre is a particular concern since it indicates internal damage that can lead to a sudden blowout.
Why a bulge in the tyre is serious
A sidewall bulge means the internal structure of the tyre has been damaged, even though the tyre may still be holding air. There's no reliable way to know how close it is to failing completely, so a tyre with a visible bulge shouldn't be driven on, even for a short distance.
- Sidewall bulge — stop driving on it, risk of sudden blowout
- Cracked alloy wheel — can worsen and cause a slow air leak or sudden deflation
- New vibration after an impact — have it checked before continuing
- Car pulling to one side after hitting a kerb — could be wheel or tracking damage
