So i was driving down the interstate, right as I was changing lanes I smashed this pothole really hard. the next day I looked at my tires on the drivers side and the had formed a big knot on them, probably b/c of hitting the hole so hard, meaning I have to buy two new tires now . My question is, do you guys think that the state of TN TDOT(Tennessee Dept. of Transportation) would pay for me two new tires b/c of their ****ty roads? Just wondering. I've got their number, so I might try to call them tomorrow just to see. It's a long shot but it's worth a try.

 

Give it a shot. When I lived in Cincinnati, they'd do it.

 

usually you have to PROVE that hole caused the damage... Good luck with that. But, I am also used to NY... Might be easier in TN.

 

yea good luck with that one!
i tried the same thing in NJ last year and that didnt work too great. they basicaly laughed at me and said what proof do you have

 

I bent my rim on my old 6th gen a couple years back when a hit a huge pothole. Three days later the tire went flat. Fortunately, an auto shop was able to bend the rim back to normal. I'd give the city/county a call and see...you never know.

 

Good luck man... I sincerely hope you get the state to pay for the damage. Same thing happend to me in VA. and of course they said the same thing. Got Proof!


Nas...

I wanna talk to the Mayor, the Governor, and the MF President,

I wanna talk the FBI and the CIA and the MF Congressman.

 

i will tell ya man... u pay taxes for what? i myself nailed a couple of big potholes that i couldnt dodge and im surprised it didnt do some serious damage....yet.
