Curbed My Wheel

Just a bit of advice needed. Just curbed my wheel, and I've noticed I've split the tyre. It hasn't gone deep and it hasn't gone down yet, is the tyre repairable or will I need a new one or will it be fine as it is? Also how much would it cost to get the alloy done

    That looks like a nasty cut in the tyre & will have structurally weakened the tyre wall - i'd replace to be safe

    Alloy wheel scuff repair prices vary according to the quality of the repair, but I guess around £30 to fix that ?

    Is the tyre to damaged for it to be repaired?

    Tyre is scrap by the look of it.

    Aye, no way to repair that.

    Any cuts to the bead or sidewall means a new tyre.
