Default Vue 2004 Redline with low profile tires

I have a 2004 Vue Redline with the Low profile tires and was driving home
Friday night when I hit something on the road with the left front and left
rear tire. Both tires blew and it severely damaged the wheels. I changed
the spare and drove home (about 3 miles) with the left rear still flat. I
called Saturn and they told me that the tires for the Redline are $277.00
each and the wheels are $448.00 each. The total damage was about $1580.00
My insurance will pay for all but $500.00. I think that if I had normal
High profile tires I would not have damaged the wheels as the low profile
tires are closer to the rim and when they hit something they will more
likely damage the wheels. It is something for someone who is thinking about
buying the 2004 Vue Redline to think about. I am seriously thinking about
changing my wheels and tires to the high profile type when these finally
need to be replaced.
