Default location, location, location.... I have bent one wheel and cracked another so far this winter.

SE Pennsylvania roads suck.... poor maintenance and lots of freeze/thaw cycles.

17" RS4 DTM reps and Dunlop WinterSport tires, first time in four years with these wheels that I've had a problem.

Default I have no idea what Zx-12 tires are

They don't even show up on a Google search.

Default My new peeve! Putting on summers tomorrow

for a few days so I can get Avus #2 and #3 restored to round! PMO. Hit pothole, out of round, air releases; refill tire, hit bump and air releases, refill. It's fine for days at a time then... oops, must have hit another bump "just right" and time to refill again.

Running 225x45 snows. And "softness" of Z tires has nothing to do with it. It's the damn roads! And this time it's not even a front wheel!

Default Move to 16" wheels and tires

Also, there is variation between brands and models, nto just speed ratings.
