Fawk no ur not the only one. i had to replace two tires on the sc because trenton nj pot holes are like moon craters SMH potholes are another reason why i hate the snow because when the roads have to get plowed the plow trucks produce the potholes. grrrrr

I know the Washington, DC area isn't as bad as NJ/NY, but it's pretty rough here too. I'm rolling on stock wheels and 55 wall tires until they decide to start filling these things in.

Really bad here this year in Topeka, and I'm driving a 4x4 truck even right now. I'm dodging craters like cones at an auto cross.

Kinda crazy how bad our roads are after being in Europe for a while.

Pot holes are the reason I won't run stretched tires anymore.

The potholes out here in Oklahoma are crazy! Almost every road is covered with giant potholes, cracks, and craters. It's horrible no matter what car or truck I'm in. I almost blew a tire the day after I got my IS wheels because there are craters in front my neighborhood's entrance.

Exactly, Exactly why I just picked up some supra wheels. More tire options, BBK friendly and I won't have to worry about bends. Can't commit to pricey wheels right now either. 95/395 Loisdale Rd area sucks *****!!!!!
