Buy tire models that are nototious for having stiff pothole resistant sidewals.
Unfortunately an average retard who writes a "review" on tirerack.com
is typically pretty clueless sidewall wise.
The morons typically fall in two categories
1. Blissfully unaware how sturdy their sidewall is
2. Get a blown sidewall, blame themselves or the government
for not patching up the pothole instead of a crap tire manufactuere.
You have to realize though that sturdiness in sidewalls comes at cost:
more plies means more weight. And unprung weight is killing suspension,
affects handling, etc.
