Default Pothole mania!!

This crazy warm spell that is currently gripping the midwest has made the roads a serious obstacle course! I have, for the 4th. time, put a bubble in another $275 Dunlop all-season tire!! I can't stand this anymore.

I had 19's on my car and I have had to replace all 4 wheels because of the roads and one of the tires!! thats 2 sets of wheels!!

I have cracked 1 stock 17", bent another stock 17 and put a bubble in 4 different tires!!

Reasons why I am going back to a truck when my lease is up in Spring...I would kill to own an IS350, which I could if I wanted to, but AWD is unfortunately key to my survival and I am going to need a truck once I return to active duty and move around for 8 years!! Frustration frustration frustration.

where did you buy your tires from? if i lived in the states, i'd buy the warranty from discount tire, they told me they cover everything, i think it's 20 bucks per tire, and if it can't be fixed, they'll replace it. I'm pretty sure you can't fix the bubble issue on the tires. Believe me, pot hole issues in Toronto is just as bad if not worse. That's why I don't put on my 19's until June, is when they almost done fixing all the pot holes, although people start putting their summer rims on in April.
