Troubleshooter: Is your vehicle vulnerable to potholes? — via drivingdotca
So what makes a particular type of vehicle better able to handle potholes? Or what types and what features make them more prone to damage?
If your ride has ultra-wide alloy rims, you should start saving up for one or two replacements before pothole season hits. This type of wheel is especially susceptible to impacts, and the damage isn’t always visible from the outside. Their weakest point is on the inside of the rim edge, so if you’re doing a little roadside damage assessment after a particularly nasty jolt, turn your steering wheel or hold your smartphone camera to get a view of this area.
If you’ve hit one of these automotive abysses, you may need to do a little roadside assessment before continuing your journey. First, check your vehicle’s steering response at slow speeds and listen carefully for any unusual noises. If something crops up, pull over as soon as safely possible into a parking area or a quiet side street. Check thethat took the hit for any signs of deflation or obvious misalignment such as an abnormal tilt or direction difference from the non-impacted side .
Think about road-hazard coverage for your tires. Many tire brands offer this protection at a small extra cost, and some throw it in for free — just remember to ask your tire retailer at the time of purchase. When a low-profile 20” or larger-diameter tire can set you back $400 or more, getting some protection makes sense.
