   hey... the story is that after going to tesco tonight I was leaving the car park and I hit a pot hole which was hardly visable. The pot hole completely ripped apart my tyre and punctured it, lucky it did not damage the alloy. Just wondering what is the best way to go about sorting it out with tesco? and also will they compensate for my tyre??
   
   
   
   Thanks.

   Take it as high as you can with them (like see the manager or whatever) Take better daylight pics of the damage, where it happened and the pothole and show them, ask them what they're going to do about it, as you're a customer of theirs etc.
   
   Really go for it. Besides, it's their fault (I hate tesco).

   would also take measurements of the pothole, depth width etc, might come in handy later on.
