2011 Avalon: I was driving to my friends house and i thought i saw that friend riding his bike home as i was driving up to his neighborhood. I took a wide turn on the two lane road, seeing there was no traffic, i took my time to make the wide turn and i guess somehow i was so stupid and forgot i was driving or something dumb like that, and the next thing i know im up on the curb and im jerking back to the right to get off the curb before my back tire jumped it also, so then i was freaking out, i turned into the neighborhood and i got out and looked at the tire, the rim didnt seem bent, the car doesnt shake when i drive it either, i was relieved beyond belief, the rim has a nice scratch tho, and on the tire, a piece of rubber on the side of the tire kinda chipped and is hanging loose, about a centimeter thick, is this tire safe to continue using? Do you think jumping the curb between 10 and 20mph badly damaged my car? i was so worried, if i remember right, it wasnt as fierce of an impact as i wouldve expected, the curb is low enough that the front of the car would hover over it if you parked over it, did it damage the tire bearing, bend the rim, or destroy the shock? I am really worried about if the tire will blow unexpectedly or something, the only thing i know is that the alignment is kinda off cuz when im going straight, the steering wheel is like an inch to the left. Tell me what you know about possible damages! thanks! maybe ill have to go get it checked out
