There are a lot of manhole covers on the first section of my drive to work, and I commknly see people swerving all over the road just so their tires won’t touch them, even jeeps. Why?

      I drive a Honda fit and don’t baby my tires like these people. Tires that are way smaller and an undercarriage way closer to the ground. Not a vehicle made for bumps like an SUV is. I have never, not once, had to replace my tires from damage other than a piece of debris that got picked up like a nail dropped in the road. I’m on my second Honda Fit as well so I’ve been driving them for some time.

      If SUVs are losing tires to train track they are so insanely overpriced. Their car payments are more than a set of my tires.

          Why the fuck do people on lemmy intentionally misquote people to make their points?

          Do you really think people can’t just read my comment? Or did you just not comprehend what I actually wrote?

          If going over manhole covers or train tracks too fast caused tire damage it would have happened to my cars by now. I’ve been driving for over 24 years.
