Driving inside the Eurotunnel carriage in my Mercedes E class I touched one of the kerbs at very low speed.There is very little clearance between the tyres/ kerbs with this car. Got to the supermarket at Calais and noticed a cut and bulge in a rear tyre that wasn't there before. £192 to replace today.
Having now Googled "Eurotunnel tyre damage" it seems I'm not alone and maybe I should book as having a roof box in future so they put me in with the camper vanswhere there are no kerbs also that if this occurs you should stop just outside the train on disembarkation and ask for a claim form. I didn't know that at the time (or about the damage)
Anyone with a wide car would do well to Google the matter before travel, it might save you from tyre/wheel damage
