so it snowed pretty bad today, and my tires are pretty low on tread... ok REALLY low on tread, and I was driving maybe 10-15 mph, and started slowing down to take a turn, and it was one of those turns where there is an island thing where the lightpost comes out of an the part where you turn is in between the island thing and the sidewalk, so anwyays, I started to turn, but my car didn't agree with me and ....


yep, understeer (in snow so spun out or whatever) right into the curb. was probably going like 5-10 mph when I hit the curb and bounced off. It was just my front drivers side tire that hit, but it's all scraped up around one of the edges now.


anyways besides telling me to get new tires (which I plan on doing tommorow). I need advice.

I'm taking it into a shop tommorow to have them take a look at it since I can tell the alignment is fucked now, and want to see if anything is damaged. What Coould be damaged if anything?

I have a balljoint camber kit, so I'm hoping that just got pussed of of whack and just needs to be readjusted.

as much as I'd like to, I can't seem to justify all that money for a mostly cosmetic upgrade, alothough I hate how big the sidewall on teh stock size tires is... WAY too much flex in cornering.

there you go, thats justification enough right there .

i got some decent wheels for 425 shipped and falkien ziex 512's for 390 mounted and balanced.
