I have had my P3D for 4 months now. I have the 20” peformance wheel/tire package with the performance brakes. I’m in love with the car, but I live in the NY area, and the roads are crap. As a result, twice in three months I’ve had tires blow after going into a pothole. The first time I lost one tire, the second time I lost two tires in one pothole. I’m starting to rethink the wisdom continuing to use performance tires, since their low profile makes them susceptible to this type of thing happening again and again, which gets expensive and is a major inconvenience.
Here are a few questions I have since I’m clueless about tires: 1. Has anyone had a similar situation and swapped out their tires for a higher profile tire that can be used on the performance rim that would be more durable? 2. (Assuming that there is no higher profile option for the 20” rims) Has anyone swapped out their 20 inch wheels and rims for a 19 or 18 inch set that will work with the performance breaks that works well on the P3D?
Thank you to anyone who has any advice.
