I'm guessing its a front tire, which would also mean it was not one of the tires you just purchased. Maybe where you got the two rears will cut you a rate. A pothole that big represents a bigger issue though - you need to check your wheel for damage.

I know (sort of) how you feel. I had to get one of my Bridgestone 960's patched last week after I picked up some scrap metal from a construction site in my neighbourhood. It will get replaced for reliability reasons as soon as I rotate my summer tires back on. At least I could get a temp fix for mine, there's no fixing a damaged sidewall though.

ive gotten wheels replaced by new york state before i dont know if they will replace tires. i dont remember exactly who i called but theres a chance you may be able to get it replaced.they may have changed things though with this recession. make sure you take pictures of said hole if you can you will need proof.

Yep, totally true. When I lived there I had (2) 240sx's. 1 for driving and 1 for parts. It got to the point where I would hit random potholes so deep that it'd crumple my front fender. So I'd put on the spare fender, bang out the old one and wait till I hit another pothole. I must've swapped the fenders around on that at least 5 times.

I feel for those who have to live/drive on the east coast roads.

Feels like some can eat up entire buses.
