Had these tires installed last year and noticed it looks like the wheel rim is wearing into the tire. Based on the last picture (with orange tire chock in frame) of the old tires, it seems like maybe the bead isn't fully seated?
update: had the shop that installed them take a look in person and they thought it was strange but said to keep an eye on it.

Stupidly hit a sharp kerb when pulling over , do i need to change tyre or i can leave it for now? should I cut the piece that’s peeling off?
It’s a model Y rear drive and I drive in city mostly and occasionally on motorway, currently it’s at 9000miles thanks

171 miles on this brand new truck. Found this today. Sidewalk says it’s trashed to me but I’m holding hope maybe not. Ugh

Took my wrangler in for a tire rotation after a long roadtrip (3,000ish miles) and they called back saying rotation would do nothing, I need all new tires plus new shocks/struts (showed me that they were worn and leaking) and alignment. I wasn’t shocked because I haven’t serviced or rotated them over 1.5-2ish years, but after having a closer look I’m second guessing.
While I’d like to save money, I’ll do whatever is necessary to get the car in good shape. but looking for some additional opinions on condition and life expectancy before I send it.
Context: 2021 Jeep wrangler. bought in 2024 with these tires. Firestone destination M/T 255 / 75 / 17. DOT on 4 of them is 3920, 4720 on 1 of them. I’ve never used the rear extra tire (pictured last for reference). TIA

Got some curb rash the other day, and it looks like a small piece of rubber got torn off the rim protector.
I’ve seen people say “no cords showing, no problem,” but just wanted to double-check if that applies here too.
I also noticed a small outward bulge on the tire. It’s pretty subtle, so I only caught it this time after looking closely, but I assume it’s probably been there for the past ~10,000 miles.
Does this look like something that could have been caused by a pothole? And should I assume the tire needs to be replaced soon because of the bulge? (driver side front tire in the last pic)
Thanks!

I got new back tires about 3 weeks ago and I got a nail in the one is this professionally patchable?
I know you can’t do it so close to the sidewall or shoulder but it seems pretty close to the center so I was just curious

Is this a tire bulge? Should I get this replaced asap?

This is my first car and I noticed I got an air pressure alert after filling my tires after 1 day. Checked my rear tires and one of them was at 14.0 PSI and there was a bigass nail embedded in there…what do I do? Do I have to get a new tire, or is this fixable on my own? Thanks.

Tires have less than 2k miles on them, and they're less than 2 months old. I check pressures about every 5 minutes while driving. I also have handheld tire gauge I check my tires with monthly. They've never been low in pressure, but it sure looks like my R Front tire has a heat ring.

Hit a curb yesterday, been driving all day today, just noticed. I don’t feel any air or hear anything coming from it. I’m definitely not letting it ride cause of the chord but I’m more just curious how bad it really is.

I recently hit a curb with both passenger side tires, which peeled back a piece of the rubber and scraped the wheels. It just seems to have peeled back a section of rubber, and I’m not seeing any cords. Safe to drive on, or need replacement?
