ODENTON, MD — Is there a bone-jarring pothole on your route to work or school that road crews should know about?

AAA Mid-Atlantic officials say they have seen an increase in tire-related service calls recently and remind drivers to always have a spare tire in their vehicle. The combination of an historic snowfall, along with cold and then rain, has fostered a new crop of potholes on streets.

On the road, remain aware of possible potholes, slow down and increase following distance to safely steer around hazards, says AAA. If you drive over a pothole, check your tires for blisters or other damage. If you have aluminum or custom wheels, check them for cracks.

And your mechanic should check your steering, suspension, tires and alignment to prevent uneven tire wear or other problems.
