I need new Pirelli P ZEROs for my 20 inch rims and here in Switzerland they cost the equivalent of 260 GBP... each... plus fitting...

You have my sympathies but this is a high risk with low profile tyres on today's roads. They may look nicer ex-showroom, but kerbing and potholes down the line can ruin the appearance.

Hopefully you'll get the money back but I wouldn't bank on it.
The state of the roads is appalling, makes you wonder what they spend all our road fund duty on Oh yeah it's not for the roads any longer it just goes into a big pot along with our NI contributions that were originally to fund NHS & pensions. Rant Over.... back on topic. I suspect that yours being the first report will mean they'll wriggle out of it but.... I'd put in an FOI request to find out all the potholes that have been reported. Makes you want to start Spamming the council by reporting every hole that you come across.

Doubt it would make the slightest difference. I reported a faulty street light in my street on 31st January via the local council web app. I received a nice reply next day stating it would be repaired within the next 30 days. Now the 1st of April and it still isn't repaired.

I did that, including map coordinates, about an appalling road surface on a bend that had been like it for weeks. Within four hours they had traffic lights there.

Life has been so much more harmonious hereabouts since Mrs BFB started driving on 216/65 R16s
