It's not just the outside of the tyre to check, they obviously need replacing just do it or be stopped and if they're not good take your 3 points per tyre! 

That's a myth. Three points only, regardless of how many defective tyres.

Silly me. I should obviously have used Google instead of actually reading the law, which says "Where a person is convicted (whether on the same occasion or not) of two or more offences committed on the same occasion and involving obligatory endorsement, the total number of penalty points to be attributed to them is the number or highest number that would be attributed on a conviction of one of them." [Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988, section 28(4).]
So, 4 tyres = 3 points.

I'd suggest it was under inflated for some reason in that case.

Nope. We have a compressor in the garage, tyres have always got regularly checked on all our vehicles.

So it "popped" cos it was old, not buying it, and physics tells me not to.

Most garages can beat BlackCircles prices, so phone the garage where you would take your car for your BlackCircles tyre fitting first.

Personally I'll never use BlackCircles again after they were apparently out of stock but never contacted me. I only found out when I arrived at ATS to be told they didn't have my booking, they contacted BlackCircles on my behalf which was when I found out they were out of stock and had cancelled my order.

Later turned out they had tried to contact me, ONE missed phone call from an unknown number while I was at work. They never tried phoning or emailing again for nearly an entire week before booked fitting date. Even then I still had to wait another week for the refund to come through.
