There is guidance on what you can do and what you should expect to happen here:

Keep an eye on the replacements and at the first sign of any similar behaviour get them checked out.
Thanks Adrian. I discussed the option of going down the btma route with the local guy and, given the amount time it would take; the amount of tread left (which determines the amount they might pay out) and the fact that nothing would be done for the fourth, un-damaged tyre with 3mm left, it appeared that the offer of 4 tyres at a good discount was the best option. But I WILL be checking the tyres regularly - especially the inside wall!
