Bent wheels

[Busa1166]

I damaged both wheels in my wreck but the tires seem to be intact. My question is should I replace them anyway just in case they received some damage not visible from visual inspection?

I would not trust that tire with my life. ???

Yes replace them

DITTO!!! You have no way of knowing what internal damage has been done to the tires core, replace it. Have you found a set of replacement wheels? I have a set of factory wheels, complete with bearings and sprocket that I am willing to part with.

I worked in QA engineering for 19 years at General Tire, auto tires yes but none the less you NEVER trust a tire that takes a hard hit. Belts, cords, plys, could be damaged and will come unglued at speed when the temp builds up. Remember Firestone a couple years ago, different but the same. New tires my friend.

Replace ! Better safe than sorry !

agree!!


WTH did you hit? a big pothole?

No that was just from a tumble down the road after I flipped it back. Maybe it hit a curve after I fell off I only got flashes of how it landed as I was rolling down the street behind it like a basketball.
