AGAIN -

Just got a call from my wife - TWO more flats.
I'm thinking this liquid calsium is doing more bad than good. These craters are appearing over night.
Only silver lining, I think the dsw continentals will be covered under warrenty? SOBBBBB

Sorry, I was referring to the condition of the road and not the difficulty of the track.

I meant that part has the BEST Pavement.

Yea, its get's fun under those open tunnel underpasses left and right, 1,2. But the roads are pure ****, so it's worthless.

I'm guessing they don't want people to fly into the water.

W211 E63 replicas. I just decided to get new ones but a different style instead if repairing replicas.

I'm very tempted to put the same replicas on my wifes car. They are good looking and a decent price? Today I'm looking into the Conti Warrenty?

I actually did a last minute change and didnt get the S65 wheels. I didnt really think about calling them for the tire. Did you do so?

I called Conti - and they said to go to any authorized dealer that sells conti tires and they will know what to do, if not, tell them to call us.
The tires have to be less then a year old.
I went to the local Mavis dealer and they didn't have the tires in stock but will have them on Monday. So I hope I'm back on the road tomorrow night. I have two donuts on the car, and I don't want to go anywhere rolling like this - lol.

Yea NYC roads in general during winter have many hidden pitfalls and craters...Sorry about your car. I usually find myself staring at the road directly in front of my car instead of far ahead, which sucks and can be stressful at times.. You definitely need to pick and choose the roads you can relax on. Well looks like you will be back on the road soon so be easy, good luck and enjoy!

Toronto roads are just as worse. Hit a massive hole last night and you know that feeling after you hit a pot hole?

Bent rim is bad enough. But some potholes will bust your axle boot covers

Thank god for my tire and rim package. Just hit a nasty one off of West Side Highway and it hurt me let alone the car. Got a flat tire but rim was ok. Took it to the stealership and they replaced the tire no charge. I have a $10,000 limit on my tire and rim package. I've used up about $2,500
