For some reason I couldn't turn enough and damaged my tire and wheel, which will cost more than $200 to fix. Just a couple months ago I had to pay another $200+ because of tires.

Be glad you weren't making a turn and had the wheel slip in water so you land on your butt like I've done a couple of times. Another good thing is it doesn't sound like it was a custom wheel, otherwise it would have cost more like $1000 rather than 200
