It happened on the eastbound 10 freeway between atlantic and san gabriel blvd. The pot hole I hit was right before fremont in th fast lane. Looked like a strip of road right next to the double yellow line diamond lane where your tires ride was repaired with street asphalt (the blacktop type) in lieu of proper grooved freeway concrete. That particular night was clear and the road was dry, hence the driving 70 mph issue. I drove back around to snap a picture twice to see where I hit and the pothole looked at least a few inches deep. I called the caltrans hotline for claims under $5K, I could do was leave a vmail with my info and they will "hopefully" send a form for the claim then assign it to an investigator. With a 80% denial rate I hear about, hopefully my ammo with the picture and a sloppy video do some justice.
also, when you're sizing tires, make sure they have the correct load rating for your car -- compare it to the stock load rating (it's 100+ from the factory, i think). you can run into issues like bending rims and blowing tires if the load rating on your aftermarket tires isn't high enough. this is especially important on such a heavy car
