Congratulations on the new rubber, but what did you do...misjudge a curb?

 

I posted it up earlier, hit a pothole

 

‘if you had match sized wheels. And a full size spare. This wouldn’t have been such a hassle

 

Yes, I remember that incident......driving back from Beckley, and having to get new tires enroute. I thought this image may have been from something more recent.

In some cases, if you take a picture of the pothole and the wheel/tire damage and submit a claim, you can be reimbursed by the State.

 

Makes me glad I live in Vegas. Our roads are relatively pothole free due to the rareness of freezing temps. Most of the roads I travel on are very smooth and well maintained.

They did just initiate a repaving project on the main arterial road near me, and it looks like they half-finished it and gave up. In one spot there's a pothole they created about the size of a manhole cover. I avoid that like the plague. They did come out and fill it in, but they did a poor job.

 

Random and please don't feel like I'm prying, but how far are you from all the fun in Vegas? I love Las Vegas, for many reasons... not just gambling.

 

True!

No, this happened Tuesday in Bethesda. Driving back from WV that was in October and it was the Pacifica.




MDOT doesn’t reimburse for potholes. One of the tires is covered by TireRack’s road hazard warranty.

Here’s a picture the shop took of the gash in the sidewall

 

Ouch.

That's a deep gash.

 

Maybe someone is on the loose






 

Haha!

Yeah I must have hit the pothole perfectly.

 

LOL I tried to get reimbursed from the state with my old IS350 that bent the rim and popped my tire and it didn’t work. After that BS I won’t ever waste my time. I can’t even remember who told me to try it but it was a big waste of time. Don’t do it.

 

Sad for what you went thru.

At the same time, I can't help laughing when I think about the tremendous run around in circles trying to get something like that resolved. Haha

What a colossal waste of time trying to do that, I can only imagine. Lolol

 

Haha I am guessing that happens a lot.

Angry, angry people. Lol

 

It reminds me of when I switched to T Mobile and the hours and hours spent trying to get them to pay me the phone payoff incentives…which they never paid lol

 

Again, only the bolded part matters at all.

I actually did get a full set of wheels and tires replaced a few years back, though from a misplaced covering plate not a pothole. Took a while, but the state made the construction company pay me.
