[cuprakemp]

gonna put it thro the inurance excess is only £100 so let them sort and check for any other damage . because the tyre has a bleb on the side

 

[johnbev]

Yes, good idea tyre and tracking would be worth doing the claim then....

 

[dave.richmond]

so what did you hit and what sorta speed did you hit it at?

 

[Poverty]

You know you will get hit renewal time right?

I think there are a set of these alloys with tyres up for sale used in mint condition btw

 

[2zeroalpha]

Agreed, I might be tempted to pay for this one myself. Save your claims for the big ones. My wife currently has 3 middling claims against her name and it's killing her at renewal (over 2k insurance).

 

[cuprakemp]

got protected no claims so should be ok

 

[Poverty]

got protected no claims so should be ok

even with protected it will go up mate, as you will still have a extra claim against your name even though your ncb is intact.

 

[2zeroalpha]

Yup, your actual premium will go up even though your NCB will remain intact.

 

[cuprakemp]

hmmm may have to price all this up seperatly .

 

[cuprakemp]

so what did you hit and what sorta speed did you hit it at?

was goin around 50 -60 ish hit pretty hard tho

 

[cuprakemp]

not sure what to do dont have the cash lying around to fix it at the min just paid for a holiday

 

[Poverty]

was it a pothole? Could just throw on the spare for a while?

 

[cuprakemp]

yeah was a pot hole i hit . would ut the spare on but its one of them small ones and use the car daily

 

[coggie]

got protected no claims so should be ok

You'll wave goodbye to this years NCB and it'll stay with you for atleast 3 years...

Won't look good, a claim where you (although not intentionally) damged the car. It'll go down as a 'fault claim'

Atleast price it up....

 

[cuprakemp]

not sure weather the wheel will be ok to drive with it on

 

[Chan_P1_TDi_FR]

If your new tyre will hold it's air you'll be ok for now. The balance on the wheel will be almost no existent so you may notice a vibration at higher speeds.

I had 3 new tyres and a new set of wheels due to black ice on boxing day. total cost incl 4 wheel alignment came to £1120. I decided not to go through insurance as I'm still building my NCB and didn't want to give them the chance to increase my premium. I would work out more expensive over 3 years from the increased premiums than what i paid for out my own pocket.

I would not drive with that on the car. The alloy is buckled badly and from your pic it looks as if there is a bulge on the tyre wall as well which is quite dangerous if it blows.
Put the spare wheel on and just drive slowly with the wheel until you can get a new alloy.
Sorry not much help.
