Potholes & Liability
Don't know about other areas but it was reported last year by a local radio station that Oakland County in Michigan will pay for damage caused by a pothole. But there is a catch. You must prove that the County had knowledge of the pothole for at least 30 days prior to your contact with that very pothole.
The story ended stating that they did not make a single payment for pothole damage. For those of you familiar with the roads in Southeast Michigan, that a hell of a statement. Potholes here can rip out your suspension not just bend your rims!
Good Luck.

That's what 17s are for silly! 17s still look way better than any 15s or 16s, still have a bit o' sidewall without the hassle of 18s and 19s. 17s look great if you have nice wheels.

Well, I've hit a few potholes lately, most of which were hiding under puddles. No problems at all! Gotta love steel wheels and 60-series tires!
OTOH, as a taxpayer, I question whether the govenment should pay to fix the wheels and tires of people who have intentionally made their cars more fragile and expensive to repair. Potholes are a fact of life and they cannot be filled instantly.
Ah, well, I guess that I'm not suited to live in our "what kind of victim am I today?" society.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I went by the next day and it was filled in. The tire is ok, took the rim to mag masters today, $65 to repair it. We'll see how it turns out.
I got spoiled driving SUV's, you can run over a body and not notice.
BTW-I have 17's.
