I have bumped into curbs a few times parallel parking, and because my fat tires, have 0 damage to the wheels. I've also hit a handful of pot holes.
My setup is very comfortable for a "sports car" and as a daily driver through some shitty streets.
HOWEVER, if you run wide ass wheels with tires that don't fit properly (i.e. "stretched") and slam your car to the ground, the ride quality will obviously be garbage.  |
I'm glad you haven't had much issues around SD. I was there for a weekend a couple months ago and the roads are no fun when it comes to potholes hahaha. It is the case in OC too. I'm honestly not picky with driving comfortability, I've had a 350Z in the past and that was far from comfy compared to a typical sedan. I also believe you that you've had no issues, I'm sure sometimes tire/wheel issues are just unlucky problems because we can't always see whats on the road.
