accident

So I just got into my first accident...

I was driving home from campus this morning on my usual route which has a fairly sharp left curve (MPH 15), and I took it a little faster than suggested (in the right lane) at 20-23...which I do all the time (I've taken it going 30 before).....and my rear tires slipped out on me, and the back swerved out. I tried to straighten her out but overcompensated and and hit the curb on the right. The SLIP came on just before I hit the curb...... damage to both right side tires, especially the rear.

I have 21k miles on my OEM tires....and going to purchase 4 new tires immediately....how are Kumho's??

waiting to hear from the dealer how much damage...

Are your rims and suspension okay?

x2 I would be more worried about that than your tires.

Did you have VDC off?
