Good to hear you are ok.. But it seems you need to slow down a bit

wasnt going that fast, probably about 25-27mph. im going back there tomorrow for some photos of the hole then will send to council. the last week ive slowed down a lot as ive only been getting 14 mpg local. now im getting 20.5.

I saw this while reading a kit car mag in Tesco the library   .
It fits the bill


unedited version though!

should send one of those to the council

Send a solicitors letter and you will get the tyre money

If you had a bang of that severity, check wishbones, general suspension components and alignment too - and send 'em the bill

My boss is having a go at Reddich council - pot hole puncture - I will find out how it is going

Think they are for sale on Ebay.  Could do with some in the OOF shop.

i had thought of that, there is a slight vibration on braking. unless the new tyre hasnt been balanced right, the kid took a good 15 mins to put the tyre on the rim.

Thank god you are ok Richie, that is the main thing!

But also it is good that the only obvious damage to the car was on the wheel!   Have you checked the suspension though as that sounds like a right old biff to the wheel?

I'd also recommend taking a picture of the pot hole to support your claim action a.s.a.p.   After a woman went under a lorry in Tenterden down here due to pot holes and was killed Ashford Council quickly covered them up within the hour!!

Shows they can do it when they want too!!! Glad you're ok Richie m 8

I once bought 2 tyres for my omega.....£10 the pair fitted  

They'd been on another car for 2 days.....before the owner wanted them changing.....i soon realised why.....the bloody noise they made....was glad to wear em out
