Deep snow+pothole = flat tire

So I hit a pothole today and blew a tire (stock s-line setup), do you think there is any chance that the tire survived, like maybe just broke the bead or maybe a valve stem? Was hard to tell if there were any rips or holes with it covered with snow and crap, will clean up and look at it later, but was just wondering if anyone had this happen with a not so terrible outcome.

had that happen to me last year. Tire was destroyed, the rim pinched the sidewall and cut it. look for a cut in the sidewall.

this happened to me too last year and what sucks about it was only 1 week after with my new set of wheels and tires. I was soo pissed off and I had to drop another 300 dollars to get it fixed, well thats downtown LA for you lol
