If you're really lucky, a simple alignment will correct the problem. Chances are very good that a suspension component was bent, however.
I'd have the suspension inspected for obvious damage - to make sure it's still safe to drive and to get an estimate of repairs.
Please get a 'guaranteed' estimate, as suspension parts that look OK are sometimes bent just enough to prevent proper alignment. The repair shop might have to replace more parts than they anticipated.
Anytime you hit something hard enough to deflate/destroy a tire - you likely bent some suspension parts, too.
Which reminds of the time my ex-wife asked me to look at her Miata. The previous night her stupid drunk ass had too turned wide and hit a curb with the front passenger-side tire. She claimed "it was hard to steer...hard to get home" after that.
The wheel was folded under the car at a 45 degree angle. The tie rod (steering joint) was broken and dragging the ground, and, lastly, when the tire folded under it broke the oil filter right off the side of the engine (odd. couldn't see anything that hit it). I fixed it all for under $200. prolly saved her a thousand in labor. I dunno why, after all, she's my ex-wife.
