A friend of mine got in an accident where someone turned left into him. It's a 2012 Explorer with 9,000 miles on it - bummer! She hit him in the driver's side rear door/wheel area. How you turn "into" someone I don't know, but stuff happens. Both sides of the rear suspension as well as both rims sustained damage - $5k total. The other driver admitted responsibility and her insurance company is paying 100%. They will not replace the tires, however. The tires stayed fully inflated but I have to wonder what type of damage occurs to a tire with an impact like this.
I'm thinking he should push the issue with the insurance or at the very least get a actual tire shop to look at them to either confirm or dispute their stance.
Any opinions or experiences? Maybe this type of impact is no different than hitting a nasty pot hole but I figured I'd ask to see what everyone thinks.
Thanks!
