While driving home from work on Friday 13/01/2023 at approx 16:30 (10mph) I heard a loud bang followed by a tyre pressure warning light appearing on my car display. I drove extremely carefully to a safe location to stop and examine my tyres. This is when I noticed the front and rear nearside tyres were deflating. I carefully drove towards my home address, unfortunately I could only make it to the Elm Tree Public House (Hanham), as the steering was starting to pull to one side. The AA attended the following day and a temporary repair was carried out which enabled me to drive to Able Fit Tyres, Longwell Green. The two nearside tyres were replaced at a cost of £316.80. I was informed by a employee that this was the second vehicle to sustain the same damage caused by the same pot hole. I would like the total cost of the repairs to be re-reimbursed due to no fault of my own. Regards
