Either you hit a curb or super nasty pot hole. Post pics of your C55, the engine pic is good. I miss my car, since it's in the shop.

I can get them for you cheaper then the tire rack would have them for anyway. Let me know. You need some good traction after you installed them green filters! :p

I believe there is one of our member is selling his front and rear wheels and tires of his C55. You may contact him and probably can save you some money... Good luck

Btw, post pics of the blown tires plzz..

thanks you guys

Well its actually sitting in the bodyshop , Glennville Autobody....
really nice guys down there..

well this is what we did....we called insurance..got the authorization to purchase the tires...
then tirerack doesnt have it...
body shop called Pirelli...Pirelli wont sell direclty to him....so we ended up having Pirelly sending the tires to Tirerack.. and tirerack to us..
Tires will arrive Monday..latest tuesday..


there goes my weekend!

Ill try to get pictures!
I hit a huge *** pot hole on the highway....
several cars got flats too with me on the emergency lane form the same hole.....they still havent fixed the pot hole too!

Thanks for the Pic, that should help me out over the weekend. That is a C32 I think, yes, or is that your C230?

wtf? damn, that sucks! I never knew there was a pothole/manhole thing in insurance...

I was just kidding about suing the city, more like file a claim with them, but if they're that responsive...
