oops...

...so that's why my car starts to shudder at 60mph. Love those SF potholes. So where does one go to buy one new tire and get it shaved to match the other 3?

I sure hope the front of the wheel isn't scratched from putting it on the ground like that...

If you get a puncture in the sidewall they will replace it, I don't see why they wouldn't fix this.

That sucks Mr. Huck! Wonder how big that pot hole was sheesh!


If your still in the north bay I thought AIMS tires would be the closest. I'm sure Jeremy would know places too. As far as the rim, finding a used one may be a pain to search for. A new one may be the way to go. What up with checkin out Subydude! ( I guess I shouldn't assume you have Rotas, not sure what wheels you have.)

Maybe this is an excuse to get new wheels, maybe you can get it written off since it's "research mayerials for your next art project."

can't help you out w/the tire+shaving source, but you could file a claim w/the city for the damage. i dunno if doing it for a tire would be worth it, but i know a couple of guys that got reimbursed for rims that got jacked up by potholes before.
