Yeah hopefully just a tyre. Hopefully I won’t need a pair as it’s only done 1000 miles ??

Jeez, that’s not many miles, you should be ok if you’ve only done a 1000 miles, to get away with one tyre. Unless you have been heavy driving ?? surely not

Bad luck indeed mate!! I’m sure you’ll be absolutely fine fitting 1 x tyre, after only 1,000 miles the wear will be next to nothing. Don’t let a tyre fitting place tell you anything else.

Cheers, Marc.

Hope you get it fixed soon, what a royal pain in the rear. As you say the rim looks okay so some sort of luck.

Hi mate

been down that road many times luckily I knew it was there so managed to drive round it

seems we spend more time looking out for potholes then looking out for bends and other road users

had a drive to basingstoke today to pick up some rims for my fiesta track day car and took the back roads thru sussex and Hampshire

the car was made for b roads

Have you taken a photo of this pothole to claim back the money for your tyre from the council?? Take it somewhere decent and get your Wheel Alignment done too and charge the B**STARDS for that as well!!

Cheers, Marc.
