While I admit my wife did hit a small hole, this is normal in Central Ma where the roads are fairly poor.

The problem is that Acura has put a very low profile tire on a nice sedan type car. Also the tire store guy, and we were dealing with the manager of a 30 person store, did not think the sidewall damage to the tire merited that bubble.

It will be interesting to see if other people have the same sort of problem.

Maybe it is the tire, maybe it is the Acura.

Did you ever think that Honda Engineering could create a transmission where 1% of them (Honda's press release) failed?

Meanwhile, I have had an M3 with Michelin Pilot Sport tires and then Toyo Precis, both Z rated and no flat tires.
