Is Rim Bending a Common Issue in Kia Grand Carnival Due to Pakistani Roads?

I recently discovered one of my alloy rims is slightly bent, likely due to hitting a pothole. Has anyone else experienced frequent rim damage on the Grand Carnival in Pakistan? Are the stock rims too soft for local road conditions?

While there’s no specific data on Kia Grand Carnival rims bending in Pakistan, the vehicle’s size and weight, combined with rough road conditions and poor alignments, raise the risk. Frequent potholes and subpar suspension setups can contribute to bending o r damage.

One workaround reported locally: switching to tyres with firmer sidewalls, such as the Yokohama Advan Sport, helped improve handling and durability

Recommendations:

Drive cautiously over potholes and uneven terrain.

Consider using stronger, reinforced alloy o r steel rims if available.

Regularly inspect rims for bends and have them professionally repaired o r replaced promptly if found.
