After a curb hit or pothole: what to check

A small impact can leave visible tire and wheel clues.

What you can expect

Clear service boundaries, practical help and a simple next step.

Stop and look safely

After a curb hit or pothole, stop in a safe place and look for obvious sidewall cuts, bulges, pressure loss or rim damage.

Watch the next kilometres

Even if the tire looks normal, pay attention to new vibration, pulling to one side, pressure warnings or noises.

Know the limit

A tire service can help with visible tire and wheel observations.

Stop and look safely

After a curb hit or pothole, stop in a safe place and look for obvious sidewall cuts, bulges, pressure loss or rim damage. Do not crawl under the car in traffic and do not continue if the tire looks unsafe. A photo can help explain the situation when you call.

Watch the next kilometres

Even if the tire looks normal, pay attention to new vibration, pulling to one side, pressure warnings or noises. Some wheel-related issues become noticeable only at speed. If the vehicle behaviour changes, arrange a check instead of waiting until the next season.

Know the limit

A tire service can help with visible tire and wheel observations. If the impact may have affected steering, suspension, brakes or alignment, the responsible next step is a qualified vehicle workshop.
