Driving around today I managed to hit afew fair size potholes in a row. They were unavoidable due to the narrowness of the lane and the speed traffic was moving. I just finished getting my car ready for a 2000 Km road trip and I am greeted with a bulge on a rear tire, 2 inches long by 1 inch wide right down near the tread on the sidewall. I leave in about 30 hours, f*%k winter's aftermath.

What....no one else have to deal with potholes? Replaced the tires with two new nexan all seasons. Couldnt get in a tire to match the stock ones.
213 Dollars for the rears. Be careful around the potholes, save you some trouble and money.

we have a terrible pot hole problem here in Tulsa. It's scuffed my rims and tires before, but hasnt destroyed them yet
That sucks.
some driver thought I was a madman this morning, when I suddenly remembered that the lane I was in was badly cratered up ahead at the bridge joint.
I looked swerved hard then signaled and swooped right back into the lane.
Not hitting those fkers 2wice!
I've been lucky so far. I know eventually I'll hit a doozy, there all-over here in the NE.
30 MPG avg.
Potholes are everywhere in Winnipeg. I learned that the hard way the first spring I had my car. I was used to driving a 4x4 blazer and didn't mind hitting the odd bump. Now, I have to move a little more while driving, which isn't that hard, the aveo is small enought to move around in my lane.
Just got to keep your eyes open.
