Default Tire blowouts from potholes

I have a low mileage 2009 A8L 4.2 Quatttro. In my area of NJ and NY the potholes are costing me a fortune in tires (& time). Is there a different sized tire and rim that I could replace my tires with that would have less chance of getting flats?

You could run an 18" rim but it probably wouldn't look aesthetically as nice.

Check the D3 forum, https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a8-...discussion-60/ , they might be of more help.

Good luck.
