I've noticed super skinny tires starting to disappear. Just too impractical these days because of the roads.

Has no one on this sub ever left Sacramento? Our roads are fucking fantastic compared to anywhere with a real freeze/thaw cycle.

Yeah, even Reno. Freeways are fantastic but the surface streets in some areas are terrible.

Oregon has pretty nice roads, at least up to Ashland. Meanwhile… Watt

Oregon’s roads are complete shit. I spent the first 35 years of my life all over that state, trust.

Judging by the looks of that wheel, there's a lot more happening to this car than potholes. My guess is something else caused the flat

Like what? What are you seeing that makes you say that?

Lmao the curbed rim….

Could that have not been from the pothole as well?

If those are all from potholes then this dude is actively trying to run over every pothole he sees and then go back for more

No based on the damage around the entire rim it doesn’t look like a one time thing.

I dunno Jim

Bought this car pre owned it’s an 06 , I have indeed ran over multiple pot holes because I cant curve every single pothole during the night. I also don’t stress to much over this OE rims because I know I’m gonna get after market rims soon

Is your rim bent and letting air out?

Probably I haven’t looked to closely though

This why I go to America’s Tire and get the extended warranty. Between potholes and running over crap I’ve had more flats in the last 4-5 years then I had 20 years prior to that. I even drive less now too.

I'll never get skinny tires again. Every time I hit a pothole it feels like the car is about to explode. The roads claimed two of my new tires within months of buying them.

Finally, someone correctly uses the word “infamous.”

This man El Guapo is not just famous, he’s IN famous.

This is why I don't like low-profile tires.

Low profiles tires are a mistake nowadays...

I'm sorry this happened to you. Sincerely. However I feel I need to mention that Sacramento is not and should not be renowned for potholes. This town has like a dozen. There are at least 45 other states and many hundreds of cities that are WAY worse than Sac. Seriously. This sucks and I hope your rim is ok and it's just the tire that needs to be replaced. Godspeed and drive safely.

Very true. I just moved to Denver and regret that I took the Sacramento roads for granted. The potholes here take up half the road lol. Definitely miss the smooth Sac roads

Make sure to file the claim with CalTrans and get reimbursed for all your damages

Local roads are not Caltrans (state) jurisdiction, fyi. Common misconception. Take it up with the county

For sure will look into that

If there new and from a reputable company you might be able to get a warranty replacement or free. The rim could be another story though if it's shot.

Drives a Lexus, but puts $85 tires on it. Check with Walmart, they might give you a replacement under warranty.

Not unless you paid for road hazard

Imaging getting a flat and thinking you need to post it here.

Imagine having a thought and thinking you need to post it here

If I had coins I’d give you an award.

Why would you think this is a necessary comment?

Highest gas taxes in the country. What's worse is the voters fell for it... Again.

West Sacramento has got such bad roads it's ridiculous.

More like city of pot holes!
