Blew out 2 tires in 2 months!!!
Either its time to move from Western New York or this car is prone to blowing out tires. I hit a pothole twice in 2 months and blew out my tire. Luckily this second time it will be covered by roadside hazard but I was wondering if anybody else has had bad luck with potholes in these cars. It seems like it doesnt take much.

The 18" wheels are the best for the crappy US roads.
