Thanks Woody, but the review on PZero's tread wear issue is pretty poor.
Leading evidence: 'pretty poor' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'pretty poor' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check alignment' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

You may want to get the wheel repaired also to save some labor while the tire is replaced.

Tires are about 60% and I running with Pirelli PZero Rosso, do I have to stick with the brand?

That really sucks, its probably a good thing that you didn't mixed and match the tires.

my answer is: replace the tire (or tires if the tread depth from new is too low) and check the alignment.

There's any number of folks in here who swear there's no problem running different brands on the car as long as they stay on the same axle; they might be right.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Rear right tire hit the curb when making a tight turn this morning... by looking at the photos, should I:
-buy a pair of new tires and do alignment,
-buy a pair of new tires,
-use stapler and Scotch tape
Thanks and sorry for the bad quality cell phone photos.

Definitely change tire, have alignment checked. You may want to get the wheel repaired also to save some labor while the tire is replaced. I'd not drive with that tire. It's pretty torn up.
Ouch! In the first photo, I think I can see the belts of the tire so the tire is no longer safe.
my answer is: replace the tire (or tires if the tread depth from new is too low) and check the alignment.
To fix your wheel, there is a DIY on renntech.org that shows you how to fix curb rash.
Also have someone take a close look at the suspensoin links, they are designed to bend in impacts such as this. If the rim is bent check them for sure if not you probablly don't have a problem.
Tires are about 60% and I running with Pirelli PZero Rosso, do I have to stick with the brand? Just wondering since I want to try different tires. Thanks much for your feedbacks.
Andy
IMHO I would either replace the tire with PZero's or replace all 4 tires with a different brand. I usually like to keep all 4 tires the same brand on my vehicles.
Sorry about the wheel, that's a bummer!
The general rule is that you can just replace one if the other side is only 30% worn. Beyond that, you should replace both sides.
Measure the tread in the middle and you can tell exactly how much tread you have. New is 10/32".
If you decide to replace both sides, I may buy one that is not damaged from you if the thread is at least 6/32. PM me if that's what you decide. I have a used rear that's identical to yours that I can pair up and use.
Thanks Woody, but the review on PZero's tread wear issue is pretty poor. I just called around and shops are asking for $350 each 285/30/18. If I run PS2 at rear would it cause problem in handling?
Andy
Yeah it was rubbed and scratched during a tight turn in downtown LA this morning going to work. I was shocked seeing some rubber scraped hanging on the side wall... Just called around and ordered 2 tires, with tax and balancing, charge = $780. What an expensive day...
You realize Michelin doesn't make a 285/30-18 PS2?
Personally, I'd either put Pirelli back on your rear(s) or change out all 4 if you switch brands. There's any number of folks in here who swear there's no problem running different brands on the car as long as they stay on the same axle; they might be right. I'm just leery of mixing tires that might have diffrerent handling dynamics on the same car.
That really sucks, its probably a good thing that you didn't mixed and match the tires. Ive heard that it shouldn't cause any issues for different fronts and rears for street usage but its always nicer to have matched tires on all four.
Agree with the insurance claim if it makes sense. I had an audi S4 that hit a large hole in the road, and bent a wheel. I was concerned about suspension damage so i had the insurance adjuster look at the car while it was being inspected. Turns out no suspension damage, but they covered me for three wheels and two tires.
The problem with claiming a small insurance claim like this is that you lose the freebie claim many states give you at most, and at least you lose your no claim discount. Then if you happen to have a real accident, it will hurt your rates BIG time, if not make them drop you.
Gotta replace for sure - but it is amazing how much abuse these tires can take and still stay on the rim.
Here's the rear driver's side tire from my wife's Boxster, which she drove 15 miles home on, at freeway speeds - no issues and no rim damage!
She said it sounded like she was being buzzed by a copter as she left the office, then the noise stopped so she drove home at normal speeds!!!
The whole inside shoulder had gone, just the stranded structure held the tire togther - I could put my fingers through the holes.
And as I said - no handling problems - no rim damage... amazing!
Chris.
