    Is my tire safe to drive on?

    After just a few short weeks of owning my 328, I decided it would be a good idea to curb the hell out of my car while trying to avoid a god damn squirrel, I'm just wondering if this bad boy is safe to drive on or if I should just bite the bullet and get a new set. The two tires in the front (the one I curbed) are newer than the rear wheels and have a decent amount of tread left on them and really don't want to replace them if I don't have to.

    Additionally, if need be I can pony up for a new set of tires, anyone have any recommendations? (2007 328xi)

    That looks fine.

    If there are any bulges/bubbles in the tire, you would have to replace it.
