Having been driving in the NY area for years and owning two prior cars with low profile rims, I've seen my share of blow outs, bent rips and bubbles from potholes, curbs, etc. When I saw the 22's with the lip on the Stealth Edition in the showroom they looked great but knew it could be a problem. Even a small curb could chew into that lip, causing some nasty curb rash. Keeping that in mind however I clipped a curb with the passenger front tire making a left turn into a narrow driveway. With less than a 1000 miles on the truck it's disappointing, but I don't think there's much to do. My wife of course was happy it wasn't her as her record isn't the greatest so I can't be too upset if something happens in the future.
Depending on how the wheels hold up for the next 25K to 30K miles, when it's time to change tires, I would consider going to different rims maybe 20's to get tires with more side wall. Not sure how that will impact the CCD suspension.
BTW you think that tire is still OK to run, the gash doesn't seem that deep.
