Angry Grrrrrr, pot holes

Over the past couple of weeks, the front offside tyre on the Scoob has been losing pressure. So I took myself up to Elite to get it fixed. The guy comes out and says "You've kerbed it", I say "I don't think so". With that he points to the INSIDE tyre wall, low and behold there's a huge bulge. He says "There's the proof". I said "I know for a fact that I haven't done that". He says "We get it all the time, you probably did it in a pot hole"

The upshot is, I'm now £82 lighter for a new Toyo and am looking out for a replacement P1 wheel as it has now slightly squared off

BTW, Elite are NOT doing an ESC discount at the moment

You could always try reporting any potholes that you come across. That way they have a chance to repair them...

The thing is though, I truly cannot recall ever hitting a pot hole that hard to cause the damage mentioned.

I'm the only person to drive the car, therefore I can't even blame Karen
