I hit a pothole today with my front nearside tyre, slowing to enter a garden centre so not going fast. Was a bit of a thump so checked the wheel after I got home. The wheel is unmarked but there is a small bulge on the tyre wall and what looks like a hole in the side wall top layer. Will this need a new tyre? It's a runflat P zero on a BMW 440i.

I thought it was toast but confirmation is welcome. The tyre isn't deflated and no warning on TPMS. I was travelling slowly so that's probably just as well. I'm surprised the wheel is unmarked, but I'll get it checked when the tyre is off. Now I have to look for replacements for the front. I'll probably take the opportunity to get rid of the runflats. Maybe Michelin PS4 or Goodyear Eagle F1.
