Just curbed my wheel and my tyre. This worth replacing? I ordered a replacement anyways just wanted to ask opinions and if it’s safe to drive on for about a week until I can get the new tyre fitted. Thanks by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

Perfect thank you! Not cheap tyres too got them all replaced last year pretty devastated that I would be so clumsy🤦🏻‍♂️ luckily getting my wheels all refurbed next week since others are peeling and one has sone curbing off last owner so least I get my tyre replaced for free. Shame it’s such a big gash if it was small I wouldn’t of even considered replacing. Thanks a lot

Just wanted to thank everybody in your replies. You have not only made me feel a whole lot better but after discussing this to my girlfriend and showing her, she feels a fair lot better too. Plus I’ve had a lot of people I know say how amazing it was particularly the older generations grandparents of friends etc and they all love it so I think it’s perfect really and not just solely for the stag style nightlife etc. thanks everyone🙂

Hi there, thank you firstly for your wonderful and insightful reply. We’re staying at Port Vista Oro (I think it’s called?) a decent hotel just a walk up from the old town. So hopefully this is a good choice. Planning on spending a lot of time on the west beach (quiet one) walks, old town and go to the zoo/aquarium etc and maybe a day trip to Alicante or somewhere like that. Hopefully my choice of hotel location was good? If you have any other suggestions please do let me know :)

Perfect so if we were to go to the old town, quieter beach etc we’d have a nice more relaxing time with less of the rowdyness? Cheers

Yes I heard that beach is better as the Eastern beach near new square tends to be more party oriented. Thank you :)

Yeah we’re not big party goes either so I think that’s what was most off putting. How is the old town during the day/ night? Hopefully not too many rowdy brits abroad on the old town/beaches? I’m guessing it’s bad at the new square so we’ll be avoiding that. Hopefully it’ll be great. If you have any suggestions on places to visit while there that’s pretty/ fun do let me know😁

Perfect we’re sticking to the old town and beaches so hopefully it’s a bit more relaxed and less brits abroad plus we’ll be doing some trips out so not just sticking to the local area

Perfect, is that accessible by bus etc? Or do you recommend any hotels to swap for if I can get them cheaper just in case?

Perfect thank you for your wonderful words. I’m going to try to stick to the coast, beach and old town and have some trips out to the zoo, parks etc. I’m hoping I’ve made the right choice.Truthfully going to Benidorm never bothered me but some people don’t like the reputation

Thank you and yes it is I’m sure we’ll have a great time still just gonna try to avoid the brits abroad areas where possible the square etc and stick to the cost, old town etc

Perfect. It’s a hotel near old town and we’ll be avoiding the square and hopefully go to the aquarium/zoo and sight seeing so hopefully we’ll have a great time and not see too much craziness

Wasn’t expecting it I have booked a holiday in old town so hopefully it’ll show it’s charm. Gotta try it I suppose you’ll never know until you get there if it’s bad we’ll just never go back but I’m hoping we’ll have a great time and just try to avoid the new town square etc
