I remember I hit like 3 different bumps in downtown Chicago within an hour driving ( I hate the city) and I thought I was fine. Heading out to the suburbs vibrations were present at 60-70 mph. Took the wheels off put stocks on and 3 bent rims. If I were to claim anything through the city it would take months and most probably a BIG NO. Good luck with your situation. Its just a car at the end of the day and with ALL STATE your in good hands.

On non runflats your drink would have gone up a couple of inches and come back down again. Yay nonrunflats. By the way, did you get your bubbled sidewall tires fixed?

Sorry, my Sarcasmdar isnt working well. I remember driving for like 20k miles with a bubble in my OEM rubber. During that time, I wouldnt take the car on long trips because I was worried it could blow out. But it worked okay and I replaced the tire when it wore out (which didnt take long) with a nonrunflat. Runflats do give peace of mind on tight roads with no shoulder though. I like the idea but I cant afford to replace a $300 tire for every pothole I hit.

Picture of the wheel while the car was being loaded onto the flatbed.
View post on imgur.com No pictures of the bad parts, yet. Those are not runflats. Somehow, the thing still held air. |

Funny. I had a dream I let my friend drove my car and he crashed it into a garage. It destroyed the front 2 wheels and tires and as well as my front bumper and hood. All I could think of was a m-tech bumper lol!

Runflat or not would have made no difference.

Sounds like you hit a mini swimming pool. I'm glad you're fine though. I avoided a pothole once and almost spun out. Thinking back on it, I should've just smashed into it rather than spinning out of control and potentially hitting other cars/pedestrians.

Get it inspected by the right people.
Get it done right once.

And yeah, much as I want to swerve, it's better for everyone to just hit watever, in the event that you might loose control when avoiding an object. At least, you have a legit reason for colliding with whatever you collide with. |
