Hit a pothole on Ponce last week and blew out my tire

I was driving down Ponce de Leon Ave near the Kroger last Thursday around 6pm and hit this massive pothole I didn't see. Bent my rim and the tire went flat in like 3 seconds. Has anyone else been dealing with those craters on Ponce lately?

Oh man, I feel your pain. But just a heads up, I think the Kroger on Ponce isn't actually there anymore. That area is all new apartments now. You probably mean the area near the old Kroger spot on Ponce and Briarcliff, or maybe the one by North Highland. Anyway, those potholes have been terrible all over Atlanta lately. I filed a claim with the city once for a blown tire, and they actually paid for it, but you have to jump through a ton of hoops and take pictures right away. Definitely take photos of the pothole and your damage before you fix anything. They'll try to blame it on the rain or say they didn't know about it.

Yeah and they never fix them fast enough, good luck with that claim.
