Take care in the snow :(

[Sam]

Did exactly the same on my drivers side wheel. First curb ive done.

Why? £100 tyre vs £40 repair. It was late at night, I need my car for work in the mornings, I have no spare wheel.

Obviously i've no idea how fast you where going, but i'd rather have my suspension take a hit straight on rather than sideways if you get me.

Oh hai.

Locked up the wheels, straight into a snow bank.

Had turinis for 1 week. FML.

I skidded this morning and was heading straight into the back of the car in front. I dunno how I did it, but steered into a carpark entrace off the road I was on and avoided a smash! Well chuffed!

Tyssen - I hope your mums ok?

i would choose wheel too, but i cant even drive my car 10 yards let alone get my street, so am not gonna be hitting any curbs any time soon anyway, lol

I did something similar, close call though

Yes shes ok, whiplash and car is pretty much a write off we reckon - she is just shaken up

rally spec forrest tyres are needed in my neck of the woods
seem to work really well, for part worn, normally scrap tyres (rally lads chuck the away when they are well used, turns out they are still good in snow )

Fair enough, wasn't fast enough to do that but can see where you're coming from. Would have been highly unlucky to have burst a tyre tbh but by the time I'd decided it had happened.

Sook me, just paid £200 to get the b******s powder coated and then this!

 

[beaker82]

i did mine two days ago, passenger front wheel, huge chunk out of the alloy, piece of metal sticking into the tyre, definite bend on something at the front, think its the steering arm, in the garage now waiting the news, hit a kerb side on at about 10-15mph on way home from work, 1am so luckily nothing around to hit me. I am gutted but could have been worse, just a repair bill to swallow before xmas. joyous!!

my mate came round a corner in his 4x4 to find and abandoned fiesta right on the apex of the corner in the middle of the road... BOOM!! slight scuff to his truck, fiesta is a right off!

seriously why do people abandon thier cars in the stupidest of places!! at least make sure its as out of the way as you can get it
