Pothole from HELL!

Focus · 02-24-2011, 11:27 PM

So i was pickin up somethin from NY, when in the rainy weather i couldnt see a water filled pothole till it was too late, i'm on stock 189's w/ runflats. I always curse these damn runflats but thnk god for them tonight because i was able to drive home slow w/ no problems.. I'm hoping the rim didnt crack, although a prelimary investigation shows it's fine.. i'll def be getting an alignment once i throw a new tire on there

I need to get this tired replaced ASAP. I live around piscataway NJ, i can take the tire off and take it to get replaced, anyone got any suggestions on inexpensive places that can replace? Is my TPMS re-usable?

And since

The guy who came to pick up my jb4 didn't have any pothole problems..hmmmm

Sorry for your luck, she's must have been a huge bitch

kamek · 02-25-2011, 06:21 AM

Wow, very lucky you had RFT's on. Otherwise, you'd have it on a flatbed!

Wow that's rough...but hey at least it wasn't your dad's $68,000 335is

to answer your question though, yes the TPMS is reusable, provided it was not damaged.

MusclezMarinara · 02-25-2011, 07:56 AM

been there my man go ebay there all over ebay and cheap !

E31BMW · 02-25-2011, 08:40 AM

Hey man, sorry about that. That sucks but i think it was worth that procede. Your TPMS are reusable and you can find a replacement on tirerack, or through a retailer who has wholesale access to tirerack. they ship next day at no extra charge and shipping is cheap.
