The other thing to consider is tire damage. When hitting a pothole or something similar the sidewall will pinch together really hard. This can cause a small cut on the inner liner of the tire. How do you know that this has happened? Usually a bubble will appear. I recommend inspecting for your tires after a hard impact. If you see a bubble has formed this is not repairable and will lead to a blowout ( sometimes up to months after it happened).
