Was originally going to wait til the weekend but I didn't really have much of a choice after a pothole did this to one of my winters today:

Oooh, Pretty. The pothole was a sign.

I sure do love how minis look. Never driven one though. Sucks about your tire man!

Winter tire sidewalls? Well...TIME TO GO WITH A BIGGER SIDEWALL.

Lol the "winters" are really just the stock 17s and all season runflats. I went with 16s for my summers since I prefer how they look on the car, plus they are lighter.

Good call running the winters this long. I had a similar sidewall blowout happen to a 1 year-old pilot super sport. It was a total bummer.

The potholes this year have been ridiculous. It's like I'm driving on the moon every time I go to work.

I swear I said earlier today "this road is a lunar surface." I can't remember them ever being this bad. I live in the Philly burbs. Glad to hear it isn't only me (though I'm sorry you lost a tire!). So.....when is it time to fix the roads, anyway? Like, July, apparently?
