If you answer yes to all of the question above..Yes..you can give it a try...if you answer No to any of the questions...then probably not...
The same thing happened to me about a week ago. I had all of the above except the picture of the actual pothole. The next morning I went to take pics...but guess what??? They had fixed it...So..tough luck for me....and sorry to hear about your rim and tire!
:D

I once hit a manhole cover that was protruding too much from the street. It set off the aribags, locked the seatbelts, and the passenger airbag broke the windshield. It took me a few minutes to realize what had happened. All I knew at first was that I had been driving down the street when my hearing went out and my car filled with smoke. Afterwards, I found out that Collision insurance hadn't been put on my Acura. I would much rather have only bent a rim.

Sorry for being OT. GOT JDM, that sucks about your wheel. Though you still haven't seen a pothole unless you've driven in New Orleans. Good Luck with the lawsuit.

I've had to replace 3 tires in less than a year. This time I'm changing tire brand because I rarely hit potholes but for some reason, my tires are slpitting open on the sidewalls.

I work for a repair shop and we also deal with rims tires etc.There has been a few of our customers that have hit a bad pothole,filed a Police report and as long as the Police consider the pothole to be of danger,the city paid for the damage on the vehicle.
