Potholes causing bad tires...

I recently (last 30 days) have had to replace, not 1 but 2 tires(front driver side and back passenger side) due to hitting potholes on the highway, and having a softball size bubble appear on the sidewall of my tires. Im driving on toyo proxies tpt tires on the stock rims of my 03 tl, and have now replaced every tire due to this issue.

Anyone else experience this, and any other reason this is being caused, or another way I can avoid this other than avoiding potholes?

I just mentioned on another thread, but large potholes that cause damage, many cities/counties will reimburse the repair or pay your insurance deductable...I know Denver and Minneapolis do this.

I just heard that on LI.. they only way that you will get re-imbursed will be if there was an official previous complaint about the same pothole and the town didnt fix it. If you are the first one to complain about a given problem, you are SOL.
