Some of you may remember a couple of weeks ago i was crashed into. The front left wheel was dented enough to let the tyre down. The tyre was brand new. the repair place has fitted a new wheel and tyre but I still have the old. Is it likely to be OK?

as long as its not got any lumps out of it, or buldges when inflated then should be ok i'd think

I would not risk it if the impact was hard enough to let the tyre down you could inspect it for damage but it may be damaged on the cords internally which you will not know about

Just bin it life is worth more

Edit: I was too slow

I agree with DRC INDY 7, why muck about with your life for the sake of a few quid?

My ten pence worth

Here's a pic. Given that the impact was side to side, I doubt there was much force on the tyre but who can say.
