Do you want to hear a horror story? The first week I owned my tl.. a young mother behind me at a stoplight let her foot off the brake and drifted into my 3 day old car... she was very sorry.. no real damage done,,, but i can see a small ding,, then about two weeks ago I was driving and my car litterally fell into a pothole results a new right front tire and rim about six hundred dollors,, i kept the rim and am going to try to have it trued the tire has a bubble in it so thats gone... i just got a used truck to keep the nice car off the road so much... good luck ohh yeah i have a silver tl six speed with nav

Sorry about your accident and pot hole experience. Aside from avoiding them does anyone have any advice? Would increasing air pressure help?

avoiding is all you can do...low profile tires will get bubbles when you hit potholes

Don't forget Arizona, which IMO has the best roads...

I've got potholes on all roads left and right of me here in the East Bay in Northern California.

In searching for places that repair bent rims I found 2 - Wheel Collision in PA and here in NJ a place that is a mobile unit that will home to your home - Jersey Shore Alloy Wheel Repair.

Anybody familiar with them?

Hit a pothole last night, although I was just pulling away from a a full stop, so maybe at 20 MPH, but it was enough to blow out a Bridgestone. I don't think there was any rim damage. Second flat in 3 weeks (nail in tire then). Michelin Pilots go on tomorrow. Only 12.5K on those damn Bridgestones. What a piece of crap those things are.

Never found one in Houston Highways...
a lot of white concrete, great for low profiles...
