Potholes

I was wondering how the wheels are holding up with all the potholes out there?

Norfolk is probably just above 'really bad' on the road quality scale and apart from the real deep ones, the big 18's haven't had a problem. My car's lowered 2" so i have to watch out for the really bad drops.

As with any vehicle it is best to stay out of potholes.

It's a low profile tire and a wide rim, I wouldn't want to slam into a pothole. Make sure you keep your tire pressure where it belongs at 29 psi

+30K miles and counting

So far, so good.

I've replaced two tires on the BMW within one year, and I now have a another bubble on the bimmer and a bubble on the Sol. NJ's potholes are brutal.

In the wee hours of the morning I see nothing, and that's when those blasted potholes get me.

tire damage usually occurs before wheel damage when you hit a pot hole.... if you hit a pot hole deep enough to cause wheel damage, you have more damage than just to the wheel.

In Western PA we don't worry about the potholes....it's the high spots BETWEEN the millions of potholes that gives us all the trouble
