Hi, while I was trying to street park, my front passenger side got too close and went over the curb. It wasn't high speed and I found some minor scratching on the rim and a small tear (maybe about 1-2 inch flap) on the outer edge. My old car was a Honda civic so I don't know much about these soft performance tires. Will it be ok or is this serious damage? Thanks
EDIT:
some pictures, also I'm more worried about whether it's safe to drive especially on the freeway. The rim scratch is annoying, but minor enough to ignore.
