It's Pothole Season!
It's that time of year again when all the potholes come out to pop tires and bend rims!
Don't you think it'd be really annoying if you'd just spent a good chunk of cash on new tires, wheel alignment and straightening a bent rims only to drive through the biggest pothole in the city and re-bend 2 rims? I'd say that'd be pretty annoying...
It was dark with no street lights on a small country road and I didn't see it until it was too late to do anything. I've no idea how it didn't pop the tire.
Now I've got to see if I can get the wheels fixed or if I need new ones and then see if I can get the city to pay for it. Has anyone successfully got the city to reimburse them?
Some pics of the damage:
