The wife was driving the Denali Saturday afternoon and pulled into a parking lot off the hwy and it a hole.... I'm so bummed because we just put new tires on her, less than a month old:shrug:

IMO They (wives) just dont get it. A month ago my wife and I (wife driving) pulled into the bank and as she was pulling into the drive up window she curbed it and i gave her a look and then she got all bent outa shape for my look. It was a battle I was not going to win so I just let it go. Just rubbed the tire but still, I dont think they pay as much attention as we do. Not women in general just wives.

cheap chinese tire and wheel - broken even at slow hit.

If youre going to go big, spend a few more dollars and get a quality piece and dont buy junk chinese tires. Yes spending 140ea or whatever sounded like a badass deal, but they do zero in the way of protection.

So much this! My wife has curbed every rim on her Lancer and deeply scratched every body panel. Every time I bring it up, all she says is... "the car was meant to be driven, babe". WTF:dw:

It's a hard battle to fight. I finally have my gf washing and detailing her car once a week. Also not driving into big potholes on purpose. Fl is awful. Ever 2011 plus model car is covered in dirt, yellow headlights, bent/scratched rims and hubcaps.

Don't make car payments on a vehicle if your ganna treat it like dick. Thats what craigs list is for.
