I'm after sort of a quick response. Last night I swerved to avoid a DEAD deer that someone left in the middle of the road and slid far off into a dirt road. It popped 2 tires off the bead and didn't damage anything. The tires just popped back in position and just need to be seated, didn't come off the wheel

However there is a small amount of dirt INSIDE the tire/wheel (where the air goes). I
s it acceptable as long as it is not rocks or solids, I can't hear anything inside when I shake it or spin it, but there is dust everywhere. Can I just leave this and get them seated or should I have the tires taken off, the inside cleaned and mounted and balanced again.

Another question, do I have to get them balanced again?

Thanks so much!!
Matt
 
I wouldnt think it would hurt anything. But if I was you I would just take the tire off the rim and get all the shit out.
