Default Tire boofdee

This is what happens when you hit a pot hole. I hit a pot hole so hard that the belt broke on the tire and within a week it looked like this.

Are you kiddin' there is at least another 80 miles left on those tires. Actually I was limping along so I could replace the tires once I made it to Arizona. Unfortunately I had this happen so new tires ,new springs, new shocks , new caster arms and soon new wheels.

These rubber band rim protectors they call tires leave the wheels vulnerable. My experience has been the Limited wheel loves to dent and crack after meeting Michigan potholes. For some reason the 19"rear ones are the worst. I hear the SRT wheels are stronger, but then again, I could be wrong.

I can attest to that... Both of my stock rears were cracked in multiple locations when I replaced them, it was ugly. Indiana potholes can be pretty rough, too, haha.
