That setup is asking for it.

I run at least a 40 series sidewall. You can hit anything with that small of sidewall and destroy your rim. A big *** pot hole is when it dents a rim with a 50-60 series sidewall tire.

I looked at the rim a little more to see if it can be repaired. It can't. There is a stress crack just inside the rim behind the spoke and lip about 6" long. Time for a new rim and tire or new wheels

Well the claim has been started. I sent the claims rep the estimate. Waiting to hear back from him. Hopefully it will be good news. Hell even if I didn't have low profile tires, that thing is a canyon and would tear up any rim
