Well damit . I thought I had not uploaded this story before and am unable to delete . I was coming home from watching End Game at the theater. I way taking a highway that I take once a week. Now they have been doing work on the road for weeks now and you can see its down to one lane. Well last week went I drove it there were zero issues. Long story short Only the tire got damaged. After the hit I could tell it sounded different within the first minute . Every minute after It got worse then the tmps light came on. I was able to make it home. Thankfully I had the tire and wheel protection plan. Got Honda to come pick up the tire and Got an extra day off work :) . Must have been the worst pot hole I have every hit in my life. It like really hurt hahah :(

You get your alignment checked too? What did you even hit, was there like a post sticking out of the road?

Yes I had to get a alighment. I watched the video in slow-mo and it just looks like a giant pothole. I was going maybe 55 mph 60 tops.

OW it really rocked the cam so I can't even imagine what that felt like. I cringed. You got it fixed and it's all ok now, that's the important part :D

God that makes me sick to see that. I can relate. Here in PA our roads are such a joke. Especially in the city. I hit a pothole on the highway going to Lincoln Park NJ for work and it made me swallow my gum. Had to get an alignment after that too. Thought I had broken something it hit so hard.

In front of my house the potholes got so bad that if anyone used the outer lane (closest to my driveway) and didnt swerve a little around a certain spot, their tires would be ribbons within 15 feet. 100 people in a week (I took pictures of every one I witnessed) had their tires blown and all banded together to sue the city. They've now fully repaved the road lol!
I should clarify that I live on the main north/southbound road through my city.

And if you watch closely there is a mini bump right before the big one !! hahah A nasty bump indeed . I was paranoid for months after when taking that road.

Anyone know if the wheel and tire package covers the tires' end of life? When you replace tires, package still applies? Could look over my paperwork, but thought someone might have it on their mind already

Not sure about the entire life but mine is 5 years unlimited mileage and covers the replacement wheels as well.
