Suggestion · Original poster
I have five years of insurance for tire failure so I guess I will at least get one replacement tire out of them, I don't think they will replace both rears to even up the wear level.

Maybe my other rear tire will run over a nail in the near future and need replaced?
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I hit a pothole last night at about 15 mph and it cut the bead on my rear PS2 295/30 tire. I have a stock 2004 Arctic Silver Targa with OEM 18" Turbo Twists. I am looking for some opinions on a few questions:
1. Should I stay with 18" or increase to 19"? (ride quality, safety, look, availability, etc)
2. I really like the look of black wheels (maybe even with the red rim line) but I don't know if this is considered too outlandish on my car. What are your opinions?
3. Should I stick with PS2s or try some other tire? I like to drive spirited twisties at around 40-50 mph. Otherwise just typical city/highway driving.
Thanks for any input.
If you track your car or are more interested in performance vs looks, then stick to your 18". 19" set-up will normally weigh more. 18" = less unsprung weight.
Check out Ruuscan's wheels for sale here- they look very nice and he's got them well priced. I'd have bought them myself if I had slightly different circumstances.
19s bend more easily, stick with the 18s if potholes are part of reality where you drive most often.
I personally do not like the look of black wheels on a silver car, but if you really like them then do it.
Sorry, but I think I got lost -> can you please clarify for the masses of inquiring minds
1) you have a flat tire so you "need" new rims, or
2) you have a bent rim (and flat tire) so need at least 1 new rim, and you might as well get 4.
As for tires: lots of tires will be fine for average/spirited driving. And PS2's are fine for beginning-intermediate track use. Personally, for the price and type of driving you describe, I would save the money you would spend on PS2, and get a cheaper tire. Sumitomo and Yokohama come to mind.
-td -> if I have a flat, I might "need" a super charger.
Thanks for the responses. My predicament is more like, "if I have a flat, I might need a super charger." All four of my rims are fine. The bead of the tire was "cut" by the impact with the pothole so I only really need 1 tire. Although I don't really like the idea of different levels of wear on my rear tires. The tires are relatively new, with at least 50% of tread remaining.
Since I posted, I pulled out my paperwork from the dealer. I have five years of insurance for tire failure so I guess I will at least get one replacement tire out of them, I don't think they will replace both rears to even up the wear level. Maybe my other rear tire will run over a nail in the near future and need replaced?
