ouch, i cant top that with 2 blow outs and ent lips, but wifey ran over yellow roound bumps. the ceramic kind

I'd replace the tire as well, as more than likely there are some snapped belts. Better safe than sorry.

A good heavy mallet should make that rim usable again. You can actually be glad you didn't have aluminum rims or you could have really been in trouble.

I've read if you air up your tires to a higher pressure you can reduce the risk of this happening. I run my tires at a higher pressure anyways just to get better mileage out of my cars, but in spring its probably prudent if you live in a place with crappy roads.

Yeah that blows man........at least you didnt have a blowout though. If you do any highway traveling I would definetly replace that tire ASAP. I remember that happened to me out in the sticks in a blazer I had to two of my tires but I lost all the air and it was a long drive home.

That bites!

Is that ice still in that pothole?? Like the craters of the moon that never get sunlight to the bottom? :O



A week ago, my neighbour blew out TWO tires & rims in a single pothole on her Pontiac Sunfire. She pulled over to the side of the road behind another car ... that also just blew a tire in the same pothole.

I swear, in Montreal sometimes there are massive craters. I don't even call them pot holes anymore. Just disgusting. What a piss off it can be.
