Sneezy Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 from my trip to NYC. I hit a massive pot hole at about 80mph and we hit it hard. I'm surprised the tire did not blow and that the damage is not worse. Had 850 miles on her at the time. I have yet to get the dealer to peel the tire off and check the bead and inside for damage. If it's damaged I'll need a new tire. http://www.myfirehawk.net/subarutire.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we just need to know what the paint code is for the wheels and it would be easy. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

Driver72 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I'd get a new tire anyway. You wouldn't want it to blow out sometime down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
