What we thought as a single tire replacement ballooned into needing to replace all tires and 2 rims totalling 4k
The reason is that the tires are discontinued and the rims were bent Would you file a claim with a 500 deductible? |

| That price seems very high. What’s the price per tire? |

| You don’t have to have the exact same brand of tire on front and back. Is the tire shop saying that? If so I would run away… |

| $4k worth of damage from a pothole? Not a lawyer, but can you make a claim against the jurisdiction where the pothole was? |

You know every law on every book? No. You can in Richmond, VA, if pothole had been previously reported to city |

| Hello, all 4 tires need to be replaced, and 2 of the rims are bent. This is a higher-end car, so the costs do add up for the materials. |

not just a pot hole but the entire road was ripped up so all 4 tires hit the road and the edge where it meets the normal road |

450/tire and 750/rim |

That is some insane price for tires but it is 3.3k not 4k combined. What is your deductible? 2,500? Not worth it. 500? Sure |

That sounds about right for a higher-end car. |
