The recent rains brought flooding, and now, possibly new potholes on roads and, as more traffic uses the road with the pothole, the bigger it gets.
Drive Carefully
We suggests slowing down and leave extra space between cars to allow for more time to react of a pothole is spotted and avoid damages to your vehice or possible accidents. In a situation where the pothole cannot be avoided, we suggest slowing down as safely as possible and keeping the tire straight as it moves over the pothole.
Keeping the tire straight avoids exposing the weaker sidewall of the tire to the jagged edges of the pothole.
