I still don't get it, man. I hit a massive pothole yesterday; massive enough that my dog yeeted himself out of the passenger seat and into my arms out of panic lol (don't worry, he was seatbelted and didn't quite make it to my arms but really really wanted to), and I thought for sure this was my first pop or bent rim. I literally pulled off the highway to go check; that's how bad it was.
Nope. Checked the pressures, wiped off the rim from a bit of tire gunk, no problem.
I do not understand #BubbleGate, but you know what, I'll just count my blessings, lol.
