Potholes: Speeds from 15 to 25 MPH -or- braking might damage tire or wheel. Braking is the worst. [View all]




Braking is the worst, by transferring downward force to the front tires and suspension.

Slow speeds, feel the pothole, but won't damage the wheel or tire.
Moderate slow residential speeds might bend the wheel.
Higher speeds will effectively float over the pothole, not allowing much time for the wheel to drop.
