How Richmond Potholes Damage Your Tires (And What to Do About It)

Seasonal temperature swings and road construction make potholes common across Richmond, Henrico, and Lakeside. Hitting a pothole can cause bent rims, broken belts inside tires, sidewall bulges, and alignment issues that worsen over time. Many drivers don’t notice the damage until vibrations or steering pull appear days later.

At Tire X, we inspect tires and wheels after pothole impacts to catch hidden damage early and prevent blowouts.
