Anyone here with a 2008 E350 with sports package experience problems with tire blow outs/flats while driving over small potholes/objects?

thanks.

A little more info would help. Like where you are located ? Speed that you hit the pot holes ? What's your idea of "small", 6", 12", 2 feet ? Well, you get the idea.

Liquid,

My partner his a pot hole about the size of a dinner plate at an access road to a strip mall, not going more than 10 or 15 MPH. He blew a tire! We have a 2008 E350 with Sports Pkg.

Why do you ask?

What are you rim and tire size???

Anything less than a 40% profile is gonna pop at the first pot hole!
