Here are the pictures. I'm wondering if a tire change is necessary. I got this about 2-3 hours ago while I was taking a right at an intersection. I hit a red curb. There aren't any dents on the rim, just a lot of scratches. What are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Do you think it's safe to drive around 20 miles more so that I could get to a shop for replacement?

Also, I just need to get that single tire replaced right?

Thanks a lot for the replies so far btw.

Tire should be replaced as soon as possible. If you drive on it, take it easy.

Depending on how worn the tires are you "could" get away with one, but ideally tires should be replaced in pairs.

New ones go up front.

Damn man, I hate when **** like that happens. Reminds me of when I had some brand new 315s on my car but hadn't rolled the fenders yet. I hit a small bump, and it took a huge gash out of my right tire. The piece of tire was literally flapping/hitting my car, until I was able to come to a complete stop.

nah man just clean it real good with wheel/tire cleaner and put some tire shine on and itll be good as new lol but yeah that one is done for but yeah i would feel alright driving on it to the tire shop just as long as you dont hit big pot holes and speed bumps and stuff like and also take the corners wheel easily and and id go below the speed limit just to be on the safe side and what Xsta said tires should be replaced in pairs but you can get by with one untill you get the money for new ones

Sorry to see that -- one tire down! Definitely need to replace that one. If you're going to drive on it, take it VERY easy and keep your fingers crossed.
