I agree SF has shit roads. I do not find that to be the case almost anywhere else in CA.
I’ll put it this way too: while I’m mindful of potholes, generally, I have yet to have a single issue popping any of my 21” thin sidewall summer tires on my >5500lb EV.
My counterparts in the South have popped between 2 and 10 depending on who you ask. The answer each time is: hit a pothole.
Some of that’s driving. Some of it is also just the roads. They’re far from perfect. But they’re better than most other states.
