How bad are your roads?
I noticed the other day that the roads around Albany are really beating on my baby, I need a new ball joint, struts, and now a new tire because one of them got popped by a nail stuck in a stress fracture in the road. I realize that I live in the North, and the roads are probably much worse here, than in the South. I have driven in NC, and they didn't seem to be that much better. I hear everyone complain that the roads suck where they are, but does anyone have "good" roads for the most part?

no way that list can be true. Massachusetts has the worst streets and roads. Every road is crappy. Pot holes, bumps, grooves that totally dominate your car. EVERYWHERE. granted there are a lot of good roads coming out now as they are re-surfacing them and they are re-surfacing a few of the highways. but the big dig i think has maybe taken away from the rest of the state in terms of maintence and upkeep.

Louisiana has the worst in the states from what i understand. Has soemthing to do with the land always settling so when they lay the pavement/concrete, it will just crack after the weight of the road starts to compact the soft ground.

Sure their are bad roads everywhere,but over all, the Tn. road system is one on the best i've ever seen,and i've driven alot of roads.
I'll start from west to east...California/arizona/utau/colorado/NM/texas /oklahoma/arkansas/miss./alabama/georgia/florida/SC./NC./virginia/W.virginia/KY./illinois/ohio/etc..
What other states have you lived/driven in?

From the places I have been, I think my opinion is:
VA Roads = CT Roads > RI Roads > MA Roads > Albany Roads.
My suspension got destroyed by Albany roads on my 99 Max. I avoid that place whenever possible.

Come drive through Pennsylvania where your car bottoms out on potholes, rims bent to hell, sewer projects that make the streets a living hell, dirt roads because the concrete wore away, I live in a coal region, its bad.

I've bent a few steel wheels around ghetto fab Memphis, and not on the Nissan mind you. This happened more than once in my '94 Grand Voyager that runs 15", 70 series sidewall tires....
Memphis stinks.....
