best advice is to change the tire wen you get a chance

NOT FIXABLE! that is a weak spot in the tire. Definately deeds to be replaced

 

[mktng]

yea.. wall of the tire.. cant really be fixed..

never seen that damage b4. i think thats what it looks like ... like if it didnt pop

 

[Alperovich]

yea man, thats not repairable. the cords inside the rubber that hold it together have broken/snapped. It would be a good idea to replace that tire ASAP. ask the shop, you might get lucky and they might have a comparable used tire (wearwise)

1 word... WOW!! can i cop a cheap feel?

 

[Shotgun_Shellz]

Sad... makes u wanna take a different route.
New tire ASAP

 

[-X-]

lol that's happened to me 3 times already here in the city, i hate the boroughs just cuz of this

 

[elekto]

:hitit: Yep I've had that problem 2 times now.

nitto neo gen tires huh? my friend had those on his wrx, and he had a bubble from a pothole as well.

write a complain to the city and take pictures as proof of the pot hole and the effect it had on your wheel/tire. they will cover your damages. philadelphia has holes like no other and a few of my buddy was reimburse. doesn't hurt trying.

 

[Jimbob22]

thats a huge tit.

Looks like your tire has cancer. i feel a lump! sucks though that looks like a new tire.

 

[Stu]

looks like tha pothole won the round. Make sure you get the wheel checked out when you replace the tire ... make sure its not cracked. And dont drive the car on the highway until after everything is inspected/replaced.

Low profile tires suck !

 

[mktng]

iuno my Traction T/A tires are pretty damn strong. ... its prolly the way he hit the pot hole that caused that.. did you try and avoid it initially?

 

[Ken]

at least you don't have a bent rim. just replace the one tire, should be good to go.

 

[bl420]

cheap tires dont do so well with potholes.

 

[tubadude]

what is up with you G2 guys running over crap or hitting potholes? this is like the 3rd or 4th thread.

geez.

but that is kinda cool.

 

[l4zy415]

I hate potholes. I hit them couple of times already and luckily I haven't got a single bump on the tire. But DAMN man, that is one nasty lump!!
