Brian,
Sorry for your mishap! Maybe you could drive in reverse during the day time and then you would be on the right side of the truck but in the wrong lane! HeHe!
Did you mess up your rim? Not much sidewall to gash.

OH NO! 
Brian, I've been worried about the wheels every time it gets near a curb. Always have stayed a long way from any of 'em. Also, be careful with the front air dam, that sucker can also easily catch a curb when parking.
Did you scratch the wheel, too? Hard to picture actually hurting the tire permanently without also doing wheel damage.

The tire must have taken one heckuva hit for the sidewall to be damaged enough that it might blow out. Sorry to hear that, Brian.
Was it just one tire or both of them?

Sorry about your tires. I try to avoid curbs, and I try to park only beside really nice cars! LOL Better luck in the future.
