On the first day above 40 degrees, this happens. TIME TO PUT THE SUMMERS ON!
Something, something, ST curse.
Yay Michigan pothole season!

It's a Ford thing. Recently replaced one of teh Fusion's tires cause it had 2 bubbles at 18k.

I know smh. I'm surprised how many STs are getting screwed up.

I've saw this happen earlier this winter on a buddy's car with Altimax Arctics....Sad to see. These tires as they are great in Ice, slush and deep snow. Might switch back to the Pirelli winter carvers if this keeps happening to other people.

I don't really think he wants to talk about it too much.
![]() 03/09/2015 at 18:41 |

Haha, and I just saw that a little earlier.

Who's next? Or what if it skips someone.....What if it repeats??

Didn't have the cash for Pirelli or Blizaks. :(

I think the only solution is that someone else buys an ST. They will be our case study.
Also, I find it odd that Jayhawk has suffered no damage to his Sonic RS. Maybe this is a conspiracy by him.
![]() 03/09/2015 at 19:05 |

did you forget about mine?
![]() 03/09/2015 at 19:07 |

Jayhawk isn't Ford enough for an ST. He should however paint his sonic blue and paint the front wheels white and rear wheels red. Then he can drive sonic the hatchback.

I hear you, Honestly the altimaxs have as much or more traction then those... just it seems their sidewalls are up to the task. I'm running the Alitimax artics this winter my my wife's Jetta, and my STi, they are a great tire when it's slippery.
![]() 03/09/2015 at 19:09 |

Probably. Best of luck with avoiding the curse!
![]() 03/09/2015 at 19:13 |

Fuuuuuuu… how hard did you hit that pothole / how's the alignment?
Also, god damn. We're dropping like flies.

Sideswiped.. :( Body work. Back today though!
![]() 03/09/2015 at 19:19 |

if 4000 miles in 5 days didn't do any harm, I figure I'm past the curse period.

Shhhh, don't say it too loudly!

Me too, 13k and counting

How did anyone here find out? Because I'm lost.
![]() 03/09/2015 at 21:43 |

Identical to mine last year

He posted about it, but removed it later on. I really don't blame him, it feels really shitty.
![]() 03/09/2015 at 21:51 |

What tires were you using?
![]() 03/09/2015 at 21:51 |
|
I'm at 14k...
![]() 03/09/2015 at 21:52 |
|
If I'm thinking of the right pothole, pretty damn hard. At around 40mph
Alignment is still good though
![]() 03/09/2015 at 21:56 |

The exact same tires you were.
Altimax Arctics
![]() 03/09/2015 at 22:04 |

Damn....I swapped on my summers today as an excuse :p
![]() 03/09/2015 at 23:11 |
|
nice. I did the same almost exactly a year ago but on stockers with the Goodyear summers. Ruined a belt inside the tire , my alignment and the wheel. I FUCKING love winter.

Son-of-a-... Those look pretty new. Hopefully you can at least get some pro-rated warranty out of them.
![]() 03/10/2015 at 12:16 |

Got them in late October.

I would definitely go to where I bought them and see if about getting it warrantied.
