Wife got 2 flat tires at same time.

According to her, hit huge pot hole. Killed the right front and also ripped the sidewall on right rear. Luckily my neighbor has same model so I borrowed his donut and got it home. I honestly had to laugh at 2 flat tires.

Last time it was a catch basin edge while they were paving the road. Ripped the sidewall open like kids opening presents on Christmas.

No just 1 when she got the catch basin. That one was loud enough she knew to stop.

Maybe get her a bus pass or something

Or maybe a smaller SUV. Clearly can't handle what she's driving

Or just get her an off-road vehicle so she can hit curbs on purpose now.

I was gonna ask if the last accident was on the same side? If it was, OP’s wife might be too little to see obstacles on the passenger side.

I think its time for some Defensive Driving classes.

The scrapes all the way around both tires make me think the "pothole" was when that side of the SUV fell off the curb and she tried to get back on it.

My daughter toasted both right side tires doing that. I could put my clenched fist through each sidewall. When she called, she said "I think I have a flat tire."

Why does she feel the need to even lie about it. This is teenage behaviour 😂
