hi yesterday was turning out of a car park lot when my back rim hit the kerb (it was a perpendilcular parking lot and im parking just beside the kerb).. was not paying attention. sighz now rims got chipped and a small piece of my tyre sidewall was gashed, and you can pull a bit of rubber out, the gash was no too deep though worried, i drove to a tyre shop at petrol station and asked the guy to check for me he did a balancing and said rims are ok. for the tyre sidewall which is slightly gashed, he says its ok and will not affect the tyres, so he just use glue and glue the dangling small piece of tyre back into the sidewall the guy seems honest as the tyre shop has been around for years and its not handled by some china workers however, i'm still worried about the tyres, as i tend to step on accelrator esp when going on bends, worried that the tyre will just give way any bros has similar experience before and any advice? should i get a second opinion if so where? the piece of rubber that was gashed has already been glued back to the sidewall though thanks
