You want one question answered: is the tyre finished or not. With a pothole split it almost always is, and it is worth understanding why. When a wheel drops into a hole with a hard square edge, the tyre is pinched for an instant between the rim flange and the far lip of the hole. The casing cords inside the wall are trapped there and they snap. What shows up afterwards is a short split running across the wall, or a bulge the size of a thumb where the broken cords have given up and air is pushing the rubber outwards.
Either of those is scrap and no repair exists. The better news is that not every mark on a sidewall is one of these. Rubber scuffed off against a kerb face, fine surface cracking on an older tyre, scoring that has taken the lettering away and no more, all of that can be perfectly serviceable and we will say so and leave it alone. What gets checked either way is the rim, for a flat spot or a hairline crack, and the inner wall of the same tyre, because a pinch tends to hurt both sides at once.
A cut from road debris is the one that catches out careful drivers. Where it is beyond repair, the replacement goes on at the car in Stoke Newington, balanced, pressures set, old tyre taken away.

The surface on the streets off Church Street and up towards Stamford Hill has been patched and repatched for years, and the holes that do real damage are the ones with a sharp edge, not the wide shallow ones. Somebody looks at the tyre where the car is standing, tells you which of the two you have got, and fits only when fitting is genuinely needed.
A soft lump on the outer wall, roughly thumb sized, that had definitely not been there a month before. Broken cords, no repair possible, and far better found on a Sunday than at speed.
The bang was loud enough that she pulled over immediately, and the split across the wall was obvious once a torch was on it. The rim had picked up a flat spot as well, which is the bit most people miss.
Deep looking kerb marks along one side that turned out to be nothing but surface rubber, with the casing untouched underneath. We measured, checked the bead area and left the tyre exactly where it was.
It is the weakest point on a tyre holding up a corner of the car, and it lets go without warning. Nobody can tell you how long it has left. Swap the wheel if you have something usable, or leave the car and ring.
Frequently, yes. The same impact that snaps cords can put a flat on the rim flange or start a crack in it. A new tyre on a damaged rim will not seal properly and will shake, so the wheel gets checked before anything goes on it.
People do put claims to the council for pothole damage. If you mean to, tell us and the old tyre stays with you as evidence rather than leaving on the van, and you will be told plainly what the damage actually is.
Not automatically. It depends how its tread compares with the new one. If they are close, one is fine. If the survivor is nearly worn out, doing the pair now saves you a second call out in a couple of months.
A warranty covers a fault in the tyre, not a hole in the road. Impact damage is not a manufacturing defect, and any fitter suggesting otherwise is being kind rather than accurate. New tyres we fit carry a two year warranty against genuine defects.
