the pothole was a pretty descent size... but i watched other cars go through it without issues... these low profile tires are partly the problem i guess... but for some reason, i feel like my old 19" Michelin Diamaris tires on my old 4.4 were stronger than these 20" tires on the 4.8... but that might be 'psychological'.

When you change your tire could you please check if your 20" rim is bend or cracked? I had a similar experience and drove on a "flat" run flat tire about 30miles @ 50mph and later i discovered my 20" rim was cracked at 7 places and bended at 2 places. I went back to dealer and they said it is not covered under warranty because i chromed my wheels. I just want to know if your 20" rim hold up on the run flats? Thanks
