It would seem that these tires would be able to handle pot holes. Do you have the GoodYear Excellence or the Pirelli P Zero's? Makes me want to go to conventional tires even sooner. I am running Nitto Invos 245/40/20 and 285/35/20 rear on my G37 coupe they have great traction wet and dry and complex tread design, plus they are quiet with a comfortable ride. Great compromise IMHO. I purchased the BMW tire/wheel warranty as well. I am glad it is not a third party policy like they used to offer.
