My Ride: A Car
I already bent TWO WHEELS with my last car. Now today got a bubble on my tire. Bear in mind I was driving my Audi and the previous Audi had 50 profile while the Allroad has 55!! I still got a bubble today. FOUR cars parked on the side with flats. This is ridiculous!

it really is, our roads are so bad. no matter what profile tire i would have had this thing would have ate it alive and its on a side street, you should see the ones on the highway now grand central/northern state is crazy.

yep. they're terrible. i was on it yesterday. i switched over to the LIE because of that and it was just as bad. I've actually never seen so many potholes in NY before. This winter has really done a number on us.

Both are victims of the bad roads in NY. The reason why the roads are worse then ever is because of the multiple storms we had this year compared to others, all the plows, salt, BIG trucks and ice took a big tole on the road resulting in these large potholes. It's BS and they should fix them immediately

My Ride: 04 525i sport, premium, winter, xenon. xm satellite radio, navwithtv dvd system, 1 jl 10w7 sub powered by xtant 1001x amp. 20x8.5/10 on nitto nt555 rubber. acs roof and decklid spoiler, breyton front spoiler.
I was on the LIE eastbound Sunday and saw about 8 cars pulled over with flats from the city to exit 41. Its completely insane and they do nothing to fix it. Going to AC last week I landed in a crater on the Belt so big I thought I broke an axle on my NAVIGATOR. In my M I wouldve been sitting there on 4 flat tires. It seems like there is a revolution on the horizon, people are finally getting fed up with being robbed and having nothing to show for it.
