Why/ how did this happen

Hello,

I just noticed this while parking in Manhattan. I hadn’t driven into any potholes though there we’re many!! My car is under 20k miles and always driven with care. Would anyone know if I could get warranty coverage from Michelin?
Thanks!

In the UK you could have a claim against the local council, but very difficult to prove and time consuming

I ordered my tires from tire rack. They come with road hazard protection. I got a new tire from them free after 1 my tires got messed up. I'm from NY so I know about road hazard lol.

Does look like a pothole, or could be road debris. I just lost my passenger side front tire (and a nice chunk out of my rim) from road debris flung into my lane by another car



I'm a believer in run flats now

Unfortunate. Check tire rack, they always have decent deals on tires. You will want to have your wheel checked due to the damage though

Unfortunate. I was going to say, likely a pothole. When I lived in CLE, I experienced a few, just like that! Can be brutal, like you hit a mine. Rec. Tire Rack, buy the insurance.
