CPR

For those that haven't read (https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=127108), I recently got in an accident. The tail end of my car kicked out while on the grassy median. I guess in the process, my tires rolled over and allowed grass and dirt to jam in between the rims and tires on the passenger side. I tried everything to scrape it out but to no avail. Should I be worried driving the car around?

I would just get the tires dismounted to remove any debris that got caught between the tires and wheels. Then just remount/balance them. Shouldn't cost anymore than $10-20 per tire. Although I have no idea if the tires are still safe considering the extreme nature of your accident.

The tires are pretty much brand new. I've only had 800 miles on them. I'll have them checked just to make sure there's no debris inside the tires.

Probably a good idea to have them cleaned out. I suppose enough debris wedged in there may cause the tire to leak air. But, be careful where you take it. The last place to mount tires for me messed up the rims pretty good.

This sounds like a problem with the tire bead. Have it fixed/checked by a reputable tire shop. Tires are kinda important for control.

Ask Fuminsho! He has first hand experience with your problem.

Race cars get that all the time. I would clean it out to keep the bead clean.

Didn't know the ITR was a ralley car.

Man I wish I still had that picture handy on the web.... my wife took it as they pulled me out of the muck. I had the choice of going into the railing or mud..... I had to go with the mud. I forced the tail around so hard that I went into the mud backwards!
But I just took the tire off... aired it back up and put it back on... later I took the car to a self serve car wash and dismounted all four rims ( one at a time of course) and sprayed the whole underside.
