Long story short. I have a GMC Topkick with 10r22.5 tires. Was involved in an accident a week ago where the other car hit me in the back axle from the front. Bent outer wheel slightly on the rim. Also broke the leaf spring on that side and shoved the axle back 5 or 6 inches. Both tires are still holding air.
The apraiser came out and looked truck over a few days ago. After looking at the obvious damage, I mentioned to him that I thought they should replace both tires as they took a direct hit from a car hit at about 35 mph. He kind of looked at me like I was nuts. Well, I got his estimate and no mention of new tires. There is a new wheel listed and labor to put the old tire on the new wheel.
Am I nuts? Would you guys run those tires? They aren't worn out bald tires. Very few miles on them. Accident wasn't my fault.
On a side note..... I also mentioned some concern that the axle may have been bent. There was mention of checking that on the estimate. Just wondering how hard of a hit it would take to bend a big ( well, medium duty) truck axle.
