I hit this pothole in my car last night which caused a blown tyre which resulted in an 1 1/12 wait for a recovery vehicle that evening a then again on Friday morning for the car to be transported to the garage for a new tyre to be fitted. This resulted in a charge of £102 for a new tyre.

I also hit this pothole on 22/1. I have paid £200 getting the tyre replaced and car needs to go to garage as there is fluid leaking into wheel arch.
