Potholes are every where in Puerto Rico. The only place that you can drive with out too many problems is on a toll road, but that isn’t a guarantee either. Driving on the roads is like a game of dodge ball. People would rather swerve over to your lane and possibly hit your car than to hit a hole in the road. It is assumed by the locals that you will be watching all lanes for upcoming obstacles, so you can prepare to move out of the way when the car next to you decides to miss the pit in from of him.

And then comes the rain. Let me tell you how fun it is when there is just enough water to fill up the potholes and you can’t tell where they are.

I have been lucky and only had 2 large leaks in my tires because of the bad roads. My tires aren’t the best, but I also have to fill them up all of the time because of slow leaks from hitting the holes to hard. I do recommend that if you have to replace your tires your best bet is to buy them from Costco. Their warranty is definitely worth the cost of the tire (which isn’t bad anyway).
