I need to vent. I've had it with these potholes. Ever since I got my Mini potholes have become a real issue. Little Diablo almost bit a big one the other day. And Rt 295 N? What the hell is that. It's one huge pothole. Bump bump bumpty bump. I'm going to be heading up to Princeton Mini soon to get my tires redone. And manhole covers!! Arrrggghhh.

What is NJ doing? Fill these dang potholes!!

 

I know what you mean, it is almost like dodge ball, but with the Mini and potholes. I am surprised that I have not been pulled over with my all over the road.

 

Well I feel your pain, hit one in january of 09, 4K in damage on rte 1 and 9 in Newark at 2 AM
Not fun

 

Oh yes, 295 N got a few of my wheels too. I feel your pain!

 

Come to JERSEY CITY...Pothole Capital of NE.

 

^ brooklyn as well.

 

You have a Lambo? This is a forum for MINIs. *chuckle*


Yah anyway that sucks. You have to learn to dodge them. I hit one at the parking lot at work today because I didn't see it as it was filled with water.

 

Ouch that sucks, I had problems like that when I was on 17"s like the S-Lites
but now its all good. Beefy non runflat tires help cushion the blow.

16" rims ftw!!!

 

Yeah, say bye bye to runflats and get all seasons or something to help...

 

I agree, i miss my 2 sets of 17s, but Saturday when I have to go through Bklyn, then to eastern LI and back home across the cross bronx, i will be glad I have my 16s with a 50 series tire

 

I recently got another used low mileage 06 DSM 06 with 17 inch crown spoke wheels. four months later I now have three bent wheels from hellatious potholes :-(, and a mild vibration that I can even temporarily get rid of. I just purchased four replacement s lites off ebay since I like those better.
