i hit a damn curb in a parking lot and both left side wheels went over the curb, the front tire now has a rip in it, near to the rim, original tires. the back tire looks fine, do u think it messed up the suspension or alignment at all? can i keep driving with that tire or not? it is a small rip or break in the tire.
if i let go of the steering wheel, it doesntdo anything funny or pull to the side strongly or anything, it eventually kinda drifts to one side or other is that normal? it happens very slow

Alignment is easy to tell. Drive it. Let go of the wheel. If it pulls, shimmies or does anything other than keep going straight, it's probably due for an alignment.

The tire I can't really say if it's bad, but if the surface is broken at all, it's for sure not a good thing! It's very possible the sidewall will fatigue faster and you'll get a flat, personally I would have it looked at. Especially if you live somewhere cold!

Good luck, drive safe.. and watch out for those sneaky curbs.
