Likely due to the low sidewall ? Must have been a steep edge on the pot hole. 50 kph isn’t particularly fast. It’s probably the speed that most miles are driven in a lot of vehicles
What would you do? Neighbour damaged tires.

Just a thought. Don't all cars come with roadside hazard warranties?
Anyway, I'll bet dollars to donuts you will have to go through your insurance company for this. Any con-tractor that acts like this will certainly avoid the issue with a "It wasn't me!"

Dealer says it happens a lot with the low profile tires. Even on trucks.

Ya true. I was lucky I had the PDR running with sound. It was quite the bang. Not sure the region would pay for something like this, but it's also worth a shot.

Hoping I won’t be writing a tire-thread of my own as this inside & out empty “house-flipper” reno moves along next door

Dealer can’t get the tires for both vehicles. I don’t know what to do.

Ya, met “the flipper” and introduced myself and he did not respond with his name. Kinda sets the tone off the get-go hey. This will never change who I am though as I don’t hold my breath for good fortune of any nature to be returned from my “pay-it-forward” gestures like this. Hoping for a good neighbour soon though and one that never asks to borrow my toolsSwine .

Call outlets like 1010tire.ca as some might have stock that dealers are not privy too. Dealer is basically saying no supply from distribution warehousing. Dealers rarely supply to other Dealers with low supply. You will find this every winter tire season too. This is how I got my AS4s for my c7 in October 22 when everyone was saying no stock. A lotta work but it might pay off. When even Costco told me “good luck” (for supply only) I found 1010tire had a set for me.

I got one through Tirerack.
BTW, did you contact the region?
They can put a stop work order on his property for this. That should be your first call.
They may even pay for your tires.

So "the flipper" is not acknowledging your complaint?Ya, met “the flipper” and introduced myself and he did not respond with his name. Kinda sets the tone off the get-go hey. This will never change who I am though as I don’t hold my breath for good fortune of any nature to be returned from my “pay-it-forward” gestures like this.

Call the City permits office and/or The Ministry of Labour, or at least use the threat of a call to gain his attention.
His 'Building Permit' and a 'Notice of Project' must be conspicuously posted (usually a window or on the front door).
If it's not there, implying he may be doing this work without a permit, they can and will halt construction immediately and indefinitely.
The last thing any 'flipper' wants is the aggravation of a time delay.
As a side note, document everything, including your efforts to reach an amicable settlement, names on disposal bins and pick-ups, photos of workers, etc..
Don't let it ride - guys like this give the construction industry a bad name.

Sorry I am not the OP but it is my commented flipper is being quoted.… should have my own thread I guess
… my photo with the bins and steeet-front “supply yard”.I’ve grown to not get trouble makers pissed off.
Cant choose neighbours but gotta choose my battles. Bigger battles to fight than a short-term flipper next door as in 1/2 year from now, it should not matter anymore.
Posted my situation to relate with having similar nuisance next to me … hopefully nothing that takes it to my wallet though like the OP of this thread

That’s the thing about neighbours , just like relatives you don’t get to choose.Ya, met “the flipper” and introduced myself and he did not respond with his name.

And Workers Compensation. Seems like the type that would not be in compliance.

Picked up the Corvette. Of course got it back in worse condition than I had left it. Broke something under my seat as there’s a module sticking out of the front left corner. Kick marks on the door sill, scratches on the door sill kick plate, and scratched paint from shoes hitting the paint near the kick plate.
I’m not even going to look at the PDR at this point.

Nonsense. If you do not track your car, simply get them repaired. The tire guys is trying to rip you off. That is the easiest, most straightforward repair . The other nail, unfortunately, is close to the sidewall, so not sure. But they look like shallow nails anyways
