so as i write this, im sitting in my car, near queensboro bridge in new york. i was on my way home and i didnt see the pothole.......yup u guessed it. but not one, but TWO flats on god damn NEW TIRES AND WHEELS (oem 189s) on the right side. yup, right side tires blown.

if i go back to the tire shop which i had it done yesterday, do u think i can get it replaced??? do i have any bent rims (what r the chances)

i just dont wanna shelve out like another 300 when i JUST had this done no more than 24 hrs ago.....FML

UPDATE:

Just came home....luckily I was carrying around 4 Style 268's for sale, which a buyer dropped out.....

So I called my dad, he came, and we managed to removed the somewhat stripped lug nuts and replace the wheel

Turns out...I didn't hit a pot hole because I retraced my route at the exact time the tires blew. The road was completely paved, no bumps or anything.

I'm assuming that the shop who sealed my tires didn't do a good job...correct me if i'm wrong?

possibly over inflated tires bursted?
Any damage at all to the wheels? is there a hole in the tires?

Nah, the tires were properly inflated. I actually checked this morning before I left the house. Max PSI is 50, according to Pirelli (PZero Nero A/S tires) and when I gauged it, it was 36 rear and 34 front.

Wheels were slightly rashed, maybe an inch, but thats it. Didn't see any holes/bubbles
