Robust 19-inch wheels/tires

[Ampere]

I was turning into a small parking lot where the concrete curb jutted a little further out on the right than I noticed. I hit it with the two right wheels at about 15 mph. I can see no damage to the wheel rim and thus far, the tire remains normally inflated. I have no idea if there is any suspension damage, as the car seems to ride normally. Perhaps those Pirelli tires aren't as fragile as I assumed.

I've taken my 19" Air on long, rough dirt roads a few times. With care, no issues.

Yes, that general area, but deep into Carrizo Plain. Shell Creek Rd was great.

I was very, very careful. Deeply rutted road.

I’ve found the 19 inch are much more robust after a good powder coating
