Im about to buy 18" RFTs From WEES75 on tuesdayI don't know if a "Letter to the Editor" of our area newspapers with this example of waste and mismanagement would get some attention. At the very least it would make me feel better!

RFT SUCK. I had the same thing happen to me the first week I had my car. To me they seem more prone to pothole damage since they are stiffer and have less give. I ditched them about six months into my new car.

The Wheel and Tire insurance packages are great for peace of mind, I remember one member earlier last year having to replace a couple of tires and a wheel ..........insurance cost was something like $800 , the replaced tires and wheel were north of $1200...............it seems like the last thing you want to buy when you're picking up your car but it's great value ......
Good Luck

I believe it does and if it where me I would buy the wheel insurance from BMW, which I have, and not put a claim through the insurance. I would make the report like you did and attempt to get the city to pay for the damages.

Yup ... my damage happened while I procrastinated about buying the insurance. My procrastination ended 24 hours after I met the pothole. Better late than never!
