Road Hazard???
Well how's this for a bad day. Exiting the highway the right rear wheel ran over something and destroyed my F-Sport wheel and tire. 
Went back down the exit ramp and other then a large pointed rock on the edge of the road I saw nothing that would have done this kind of damage. Thought Low profile tires are not very forgiving.

Just hope you got tire and rim insurance. I get it on all my cars, especially those with 18 or 19 inch rims and low riding tires.after owning a '08 Audi TT cab with low riding 19 inch tires, a spring season with the condition of the roads, I replaced three tires and rims, more than enough covering the cost of insurance.

Yes, luckly I got the insurance. Now the wait for a wheel and tires and to see how big of a hassle it is to get the insurance to pay, if they don't pay the local Toyota deler I went to because the Lexus dealer is 80 miles away. Hopefully will be back on the road early this coming week.

Nope, just a hole straight through the tire and into the wheel. I see some paint and a little gouge at the rear of the wheel well.
Still waiting thought on getting a replacement tire and wheel, 1 week tomorrow. Typical insurance hassle and dealing with another dealership issues.

When I had one of the first IS300's back in 2000, I bent all five rims within the first 2 months of ownership (the spare was a full size tire on rim).
Good luck.
