The poster child for the most messed-up, rim-rattling, tire-damaging roadways in western Wayne County is the half-mile northbound driving surface (calling it a road would be giving it way too much credit) of Canton Township s Canton Center Road from Hanford to Warren roads.
I know because I live just a hub cap s roll from the above-mentioned driving horror show.
The Mars rover would be lucky to last 30 seconds on Canton Center, which is about the lifespan of tires that meet one of its deep and sharply bordered craters at just the right angle.
One of Canton Center s most-recent victims is the driver s side front tire of my wife s 2019 Honda Accord, the replacement of which set us back $180. Less than a minute after she hit the deflating crater, she observed another disabled vehicle being towed away from a nearby 7-11 parking lot, one of its tires headed toward the rubber graveyard.
