The greater the rubber to rim ratio the smoother the ride and the less likely you are to damage either the tire or the rim. 45 and smaller aspect ratios look nice but are a lot more risky.

I beg you to try to avoid every pothole in MA, it's impossible. I drive like a hawk with regards to potholes, they are literally unavoidable if you live in the more urban parts. killed two runflat sottozero's in a month. Thank god for tire insurance
I did not however pay 2400 for it, that's insanity.
