Is it still safe to drive?

A little bump yesterday caused this.

I got to the tyre store to remove some pebbles and refit the tyre. Obviously the rim of the tyre was damage.

Looks good to me. Nothing more than cosmetic damage. Gouge on the tire is is superficial and not deep enough to cause any issue.

You do have a problem:

I dont think it is that safe to live in Bangkok...

Badabum... (i will see myself out).

But on a serious note: you might want to check the alignment... It doesnt look like a just a little Bang, cock words were probably flying based on the first pucture...

Stay protected...

Doesn't look as pretty as it did before, but it's fine.
