If you word your claim adequately with your reasoning and safety concerns explained it might be difficult for them to wriggle out of it. If said pothole had white paint markings around it that would indicate they know about it. Of course I wouldn't suggest that you inform 'fixmystreet' before you make any claim because that might cause confusion and may appear that they did know about it before you had your incident.

I've notifyed the council sort of by accident as I was trying to find their fast claim section.
It wasn't highlighted, but Google Maps from April this year shows a decent sized hole - albeit smaller than now.
Its not a million miles from me, so I'm thinking about going back to measure it.
I think I'm going to chuck the DS tyre in anyway as they can always refuse that element. I think I've been reasonable and limited my loses else where so we'll see.
So frustrating to have spunked a load of money this weekend on what feels like nothing. I was also planning on getting some decent 3 season tyres next month anyway rather than the ok set I've ended up with.... and I got fleeced by Kwikfit on some sort of "geoalign" tracking bullshit.

Basically I don't want to be a dick or come across like I'm being unreasonable.
That said I was always taught to claim for the maximum available (that is directly related). So claiming for the DS as well seems sensible as I wouldn't have had to replace it had the NS not been damaged.
