Its so deep you can see the rebars at the bottom
I know one of these potholes has my name written all over it so its only a matter of time.
Clutch....they patched up ONE of the potholes that you nailed. The one on the right is still there.

Yeah I have avoided that road/area since. I drove on the belt today with my other car and it was terrible. There were at least 6 cars pulled over fixing their tires...

Usually tow trucks have an axle dolly where they can lift one axle and set the other on an independent set of wheels where nothing is touching the ground.
I had my car illegally towed by an over zealous tow company and they ended up paying over $7000 to have my transmission rebuilt on my Audi RS4 when they didn't see my Visitor's Permit on the dashboard.
Good luck with this issue and let us know how it turns out!

Really hope that is not the issue, I am bringing it in tomorrow. Life Quality in Brooklyn had no appointments and their lot was full for the past week and half. Thanks for the heads up though

Well, I did have 4 run-flats to begin with. 2 of them bubbled so I replaced all 4 with regular Continentals instead of having to deal with the bubble issue.

They may not look that bad to you, but looks can be deceiving. Obviously, they did some pretty bad damage to my wheel/car.
