Default Low profile tires + LA potholes =

2 bent rims, both were on the front I'm going to see if I can get them fixed this next week. SS replicas and 45 series tires do not mix with the "roads" down here

Trips back home to NOLA always equal a trip the shop for an alignment.

Yeah low profile tires and heavy trucks are just asking for it. In north Jersey we got some nasty roads that I wouldn't even think or driving down in 24s
