It's funny you say that...I was thinking of taking pictures of the manhole covers and bringing my tires into the Town Hall, but I'm not so sure that will do it. do I need a police report of some sort? I'm also thinking that it's a few hundred bucks to get fixed and I'd just rather have it done and move on.

I'll contact the town and see what they say.
I'd go back and take some pictures before they fix the manhole. You definitely have a case. Good luck!

Hmmm... I see a trend here. freed0m, Calton and I have blown out our tires all within a few weeks of one another. It's the curse of the CCH!

freed0m is right, I turned a disaster into a reason for new mods.

Keep your damn curses to yourselves! Woke me up and put me thru hell that one night........

I'm sorry to hear about your misfortune but it seems that the roads here in NYC are second to none for providing us with blown tires, bent and/or cracked rims. I feel your pain. I had a rim bent and two flat tires. My hope is to one day have roads like the californians have one can only dream...

When they figure out how to eliminate winter in NYC you'll be in great shape , come to think of it Global Warming will have palm trees growing in Central Park by the end of the century.

C, sorry to hear about that. Good thing is that the wheels weren't bent. Aren't you glad you went 19"s instead of 20"s?
