I'M SO ******* PISSED RIGHT NOW I CAN'T SEE STRAIGHT!!!!! I went down to wash my car and nailed a pot hole at about 50!!! Now I have a HUGE bubble in the sidewall of my passenger side front tire AND my wheel is bent right at the bead!!!!! I was boxed in by a pick up truck and a bus with no where to go and I didn't see it till the last second and WHAM!!! I thought it was gonna blow on the spot but at least its still holding air.

I hate these ******* roads in the city!!!!!

 

This happened to me here in Houston the other day. I didn't end up with any damage but it made a horrible sound and I got pissed.

 

Call the highway dept.

 

Rim might be ok, tires toast. $97 from tire rack.

 

rim is ok as long as it is repaired by a pro. i'm sure you know better, but dont take torches or prybars to the wheel to straighten it out.

 

i have some scratches on the TOP of my car that for the life of me i cant figure out how got there. its not as bad as a tire and rim but i would love to know who to blame for that ****.

 

well at least you were not boxed in by semis and had something kicked up into the front of your car causing 1000 dollars worth of damage, that happened to me on my way back from panama city. that does suck though, sorry bout your luck.

 

That happened to me about 4 months ago. Cost me the windshield, damage to the hood, roof, drivers side fender, front bumper, and drivers side headlight. I don't get NEAR trucks anymore if I can help it.

Well just ordered my new tire from Tire Rack. $97 and change. My buddy at Costco tire center broke down the wheel and tire and we checked it REAL good! Put it on the ballence machine to make sure its not bent, it looks good.

 

Check and see if you have the wheel insurance. I didn't know I had it until GM sent me the info. It covers any damage to wheels and tires for up to 2 years from time of purchase.

 

Never heard of that thanks I'll try and check.

 

They should have told you about it when they discussed the warranty and finacial stuff to you. I think its an option though so i dont know if u will have it if you have never heard of it. But cant hurt to try
