How's it going??
I live in RI, and we have had a bad winter so far. I recently slammed into a pretty bad pot hole, giving me a bubble. My question is there anyway that I can get the state to pay for a new tire??

Any experience/ storys will help.
Thanks

 

so many potholes in my area.
they are huge. the street in front of my house has a 1-foot deep pothole!! i think the car will get stuck literally if it hits it. i hope they fix that soon. But there are so many potholes and nasty one too. Definitely wont take my car out at nite.
As for the state paying for a new tire? I doubt it. I mean how many cars are driving by that road and hit the same potholes!
Just becarefully next time.

 

Yea, I figured that.
I was just hoping. Guess I have to face reality.
Thanks Again

 

Did you check to see if your tires have road hazzard? If so, then you will only have to pay the pro-rated adjustment for tire wear. Better somethin' then nothin'.

 

Same thing happened to me. I went to a used tire shop and got mine replaced for $45. I dont know if they will reimburse it AFTER it happened. Maybe if you write them a letter, give them ample time, and if it happens...THEN. Or so at least I heard. Very hard thing to do.

 

JL6267 where in RI are you from? I pass through Ri from time to time. Do you have any mods on your whip?

 

I hate pot holes. Saturday night I was the good girlfriend and drove when we went out. My boyfriend tried to kiss me as I was driving, and I turned to him for a split second and hit a HUGE pot hole. I pulled over and was almost in tears...my poor baby...*uck the kiss!! But my TL survived it, thank god! (She's a real trooper!)
