My tires are 215/40ZR17's and the recommended pressure is 35. I'll take it down to that pressure to see how it feels. Just don't want to dent the rims. How common is this? Think I should be worried?

any rim can be bent slamming into a pothole, you are more likely to bend a rim when you are running a lower side wall, way more likely

dodge potholes

don't run you tire pressure to high, it is dangerous

keep pressure between 30-35
