Is it bad for your tires to hit the front parking bumper while parking?

Saying your parking in a parking spot and your just rolling in at like 0.1-1 mph and you feel your tires nudge the bumper. Whenever I park I always hit the parking bumper to make sure I'm always 100% in the parking space. Also people thank me for doing so because it gives people a lot more room to drive around the parking lot and my car doesn't stick out. Anyway my question is this really bad serious thing for my car?|||No, if you are barely tapping it. Think of if this way, you will hit a lot of potholes on the road going 70-80 mph. Your car is probably designed to take bumps at speeds up to 100mph. Also your car was designed to be able to slam on the brakes and lock up the tires from similar speeds. Both of these things will put a LOT more force on your car than those little taps against the bumper.





The only thing that I would warn you about is if you have a car the cement stop may be higher than the front bumper of the car. This might cause you to scrape, or worse case break a radiator.|||Its fine for the tires, but it WILL screw up your alignment.|||if one hits anything to hard yes bad for tire and wheel but just a rolling bump no not so bad but still wouldnt hurt not to so think of it like this if you bounce inside car you hit it to hard|||Seems alright, but if your vehicle has an automatic transmission, doing this may preload the parking pawl. Better to shift to Neutral and ease off the brake for a second so that the tires aren't compressed against the divider before shifting to Park.|||Not bad at all.





You may scrape your plastic air dam underneath the front of the car, its designed to throw air up into the radiator, its also designed to take some punishment.|||Will not hurt your tires.


Just be careful not to scrape the underside of your car before the tires contact the parking bumpers.


Again, will not hurt your tires. Tires are very durable these days.|||it won,t hurt nothing at that speed.
