On the way to the golf course this morning at 7:15 and hit a hole in the earth, or a giant chunk of concrete, or a tree.....who knows what it was. Front and rear driver's side wheels are bent and big chunk of tire taken out. It sounded like I ran over a curb, scared to poo out of me. Must have been a big pothole or something right on the center line, because i cheated over to avoid a dead skunk and BOOM. It's holding air still but i'm worried i'm going to have a blowout. I have a wheel and tire warranty but i have to have it looked at, then send an estimate to the warranty people, then they give clearance to fix....blah blah blah.

anyone have 18's and cash to trade once i get the new wheels and tires put on? I don't think i can deal with this every 12 minutes! lol

FYI just kidding on the wheel trade, that's frustration talking

Boo. Sorry to hear that.

Seriously sucks... i dinged my wheel on my black baby and i still guilty whenever i see her. hope you get new wheels soon and it doesnt become too much of a hassle. Oh, come down to cali, our roads are pretty crummy too but at least we have alot of sunlight!

I feel your pain, dude. Portland has 100-plus year tradition of trying to leave potholes for as long as humanly possible. No lie, somebody who wrote about Portland in the late 1890s said that there were "potholes deep enough to drown a small child in". Nice to see nothing's changed in the last 120 years, huh? Thankfully I've lived here long enough I know where the worst of them are so dodging them is second nature.

sucks but if you wanted you can write your county engineer and ask for some compensation.

I was going to stop and call the city of Monroe, but i don't even really know what i hit. Oh well my wheel coverage clearly states that it covers pothole damage. I knew it was coming sooner or later but geeez, I've only had the car for 5 or 6 months

Good luck with that.

Wife came in today, and guess what.... Skinned the curb with our 2 week old Sonata SE with 600 miles, destroyed the wheel and tire. Pretty freakin lovely!!!

I see that all the time with low profile tires. Good thing you have the wheel warranty.
