elGT Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I hit a pot hole in Boston Saturday night and blew out both passenger tires front and back. Luckily the rims were not too badly damaged. The only cool thing to happen out of it - I purchased the extended warranty with my 2005 Leg GT, and apparantly it covers the tires. I only had to pay $28 per tire, plus another $100 for alignment and wheel balance on the other two wheels. Boston streets suck big time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSiWRX Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 These rims can take a beatin as long as you're not driving too fast into one. +1 I'm on 225/45/17s, and in NE-Ohio, we've got some SERIOUS pot-holes. No problems. Be sure to check your tire pressures OFTEN during the colder months, and especially during fall/spring, when the weather can change rapidly. Proper inflation will also help protect your rims - not to mention help quite a bit, even with the RE92s, on traction issues. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
