With two blown tires and cracked rims and possible suspension damage . I was in a rush for class today I was driving the speed limit but it raining and heavy winds I saw big pothole could not stop ran right over it...thud thud and tpms came on. Couldn't pull over not possible on road so had to stop right there.

I can tell two cracked rims could feel it before the tpms and left rear tire is losing air fast. The car pulled to left when trying to drive and the left headlight is out no rings no hi beam no low beam no turn signal. Waiting for tow truck to take car home so I can get another donut class cancled because power is out in the whole area (((.

What bad Friday morning.

That totally sucks man... this rain is unbelievable! I am waiting to get my car back from a rt rear blown tire and cracked 124... I have two 245/40/18 - Dunlop SP Sport 01 DSST RunOnFlat (fronts)... One is brand new and the other has about 1,000 miles - cheap if you need them... I am only in Connecticut and come in for Rangers games almost weekly.

Good luck!

Just got home the driver dropped me off and took the car to the dealer. I hope the cost is not too much. =/. Be careful out there.

Thanks! Do you think they will pay or not? I have heard of this and the City not paying. If they do pay time to get some new rims .
