I'd like hints now that I've been running 18" only for the last five weeks.

Default My answer: Rutherford Ave., Charlestown, MA

I bent a 15" wheel there once (195/ZR50-15), snapped aNeuspeed Race Spring, and blew a Tokico Illumina shock in one hit. Also saw a man hole there with no cover over it. Go DPW!

Roxbury...they'll steal the rims off your car at a traffic light so you may have no rims to speak of

Try Atlantic Ave. downtown. Big Dig has provided many holes, some of which even leak into tunnels
