09 with 8000 miles - does tire warrantly cover pot hole damage?
09 with 8000 miles - does tire warrantly cover pot hole damage?
I'm waiting at my office for the Pontiac roadside assistance to come help me figure out how to deal with my two (yes TWO) flat tires from a freaky line of potholes. There were so many of them there was literally no where to go to avoid them! So now I am wondering - is this type of damage covered under my warranty? I bought my 09 in August and there are only 8,000 miles on the car.

It might be covered by your insurance (collision with roadbed) but if you have a high deductible you're out of luck. You could also file a claim with the municipality that maintains the road. Good luck!

Depends on your state law, the road maintenance companies, and your ability to negotiate! Good luck!!!

Thanks for the advice all. I ended up doing almost $1800.00 in damage (two tires and two wheels) and went through my insurance company so I only had the $500.00 deductable. I am usually good a dodging pot holes (here in Minneapolis you have to be) but I was going under a railroad bridge and it was dark and shadowy and I didn't see anything until it was much too late. I am putting in a claim with the city too, but I don't know if I will have any luck. The worse thing now is that I have my car back all fixed and but I almost don't want to drive for fear of hitting more potholes - and it's not even March yet - ugh!
