EC's Going For It

All said and done it cost me right around $2100 for 4 new tires and one pair relocated.

With inflation taken into consideration (no pun intended), I didn't think that was too bad.

I reported a pot hole on my state's website on Friday. I'm disappointed that it's now Monday after 8AM and it hasn't been fixed.

Here they would show up a month later with a 4-man union crew and some cold patch.
Only one guy can shovel the cold patch, and only the tamper can do the tamping, as per union rules. - probably

I don't actually expect anything to ever happen. I live in a blue state. My area is red but we have two huge cities.

Speaking of tires, I was beside this Brampton based truck. Almost all tires were mismatched tread styles. The thing that struck me was the two brand new tires on the left rear drive wheels the other side was some old worn-down tires.
I was thinking this is going to cause some premature wear.
They just do band-aid solutions that will cost them more in the long run.

I ALMOST did that for the extra worn set. Just put something that's the same depth/circumference to get me by but I couldn't go through with it. And I needed to move the other side up to check if the cupping will keep happening anyway.

I can't do the typical can hauler stuff. I just can't. Lol. Same reason I don't put their mailbox stickers on for my truck number.

Our road is about a mile long crescent off and back onto the same provincial highway. It's full of truck breaking craters as are a lot of the highways on the island. Last year they had some guys out laying cold patch in them that was pretty well gone in a few weeks.

This year by the time the snow was gone at the end of May the holes were all back and most of them were a lot worse. A couple months ago they put down a temporary "Potholes Ahead" sign where you turn in from the highway. (a lot of roads and highways have those signs on permanent posts as their solution) A couple weeks ago they threw loose gravel in a bunch of them so that's nice when we come and go on mororcycles.

You might not know it if youhadn't seen it before because apparently the gravel budget knows no bounds but those gravel patches are nearly knee deep holes.
