The pothole problem, every drivers nightmare

It’s every driver’s nightmare.

Potholes are estimated to cause around 1 in 10 mechanical failures on UK roads. Those failures cost motorists approximately £730 million every year. Ever-changing weather conditions and limited council funding mean the problem is unlikely to go away.

What damage can potholes cause?
Potholes can cause a number of issues for your car. The most common problems are wheel scrapes and punctured tyres. However, if you’re really unlucky, hitting a pothole can cause premature or irregular tread wear and alignment issues.

What can you do about it?
As well as protecting alloy wheels from kerbing, AlloyGator wheel protectors can guard against some pothole damage.

AlloyGators sit between the wheel and tyre and protrude slightly over the wheel rim. The rounded edge of the protectors absorbs the impact from kerbing and pothole edges, protecting alloy wheels from scratches and dents. AlloyGators reinforce tyre wall strength and absorb the impact from kerbs or pothole edges, helping to protect tyres against punctures.

With very little automotive know-how and one of our official Fitting Kits, you can fit AlloyGators yourself. If you’d rather leave it to the experts, we have an extensive network of specially trained Five Star fitters who can fit our protectors for you in no time at all.
