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.

I was told to always replace both tyres on the same axle at the same time, otherwise you'll have differing grip between the two sides which is a safety issue as it could cause a spin.
I have always done so - when I have had a puncture I move the upunctured tyre to the spare.

Bear in mind this
It says it will be reviewed on 02/09/16. It may be that all insurers no longer wish to load policies for winter tyres but worth a check before you pull the trigger on some new rubber. It's probably worth ringing your insurance just to be on the safe side.

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.
