About 2 years ago driving back to Toronto from NYC, just an hour out of the city i hit a pot hole doing about 130km/h. I Instantly started to feel wheel shake and knew something was wrong and started slowing down. Rim was bent and had to drive back 800km on my spare. I got lucky with no damage to the tire. BTW i was running 40ish PSI.
