Took it to F1 Autocentres to have 2 new Blackcircles.com Dunlop rear tyres fitted after wrecking the rear NS in a pothole about 11.30 Sunday morning. Tyres were 2 years and 9k miles old with 4-5mm of tread left (Bridgestone all seasons 235/45 R17's) but F1, who supplied and fitted them, could not supply identical so had to replace both. Reported the pothole to KCC Highways and now have to submit a claim for cost to them (via a seperate website/phone number!!). Told their claims handling takes 10 weeks, and you are not automatically entitled to compensation, so I may end up £280 out of pocket.
