one them potholes filled with quick concrete flew up from the heat popping the roads. You can file a claim with the DOT but good luck as they say getting paid for it.

Yike indeed them 4 tires going to cost me as I only usually replace them 2 at a time.

Got this car when I woke up and got off the motorcycle while I still had 2 arms and legs.

I wasnt fully awake yet. Now I know these cars even paid for cost about 600 a month to keep up with gas insurance maintenance and TIRES!! Now the car cost me the 2 arms and legs I was trying to keep!!

Glad you came out of that ok, Ive watched some dashcam videos where things don't go so well.
Speaking of dashcams, if you have a dashcam would that help your case with the DOT?

I'm glad you survived in one piece. That said, you should have kept the bike!

If that concrete popped up from the road, the car was a much better choice. Getting hit on a motorcycle by a chunk of flying concrete would be even more likely to not end well.

I got 4 new tires now. Time to go shop them out for a brand spanking new 2022 Hyundai Kona. in Cymbidium Gold

they dont give you any credit for new tires but deduct for tire wear.

bought someone else new tires, just dont know em yet.
