I try to be careful cause in Russia, Moscow our roads vary just way too much. We have really unlooked out streets and then the opposite street would be "fine" so getting bigger then my 18" M-types is a no no for Bimma

The 21"s AMG on my GL550 also do not like bad roads so I try to not take it on such roads and rely on the BMWs 18"

I'm with you on this. Anywhere there are extreme hot and cold temperature swings, I would guess 17" should be tops for almost no damage. 18" and above is a guaranteed failure, at some point.

After last weeks rain the roads here in CA are full of pot holes too! I cant imagine what snow and salt and snow plows would do to the crap weak roads in CA.
