How many you do depends on the degree of satisfaction you require. Unlike simply letting the tryes down, this requires new valves, but does not require new tyres. So, maximum disruption and minimum damage.
Still criminal damage even if it's small value. If you're going to do something that illegal, might as well make it worth it

Serious question: What could you get prosecuted for if you just let someone's tyres down? If the owner drove off without noticing could you be in some way liable for that damage?

If it was me I'm not sure I would want to get involved, but I understand how you feel. Especially the very significant lack of an apology.

People seem to get nastier out there don't they?

Are we becoming a more selfish, vindictive society, or are we like Watsonian rats on the roads (too many of us...). Or is it a bit of both.

One things for sure you really have to be careful out there.

If I did anything I wouldn't go near the house or the car. (Cameras, someone sees u etc.)

You presumably have the address, or can easily work it out.

Write to 'The occupier that drives the red BMW 330' - or whatever it is.

Tell them they cut you up so badly the safety of you and your car was seriously imperilled.

Having been the victim of this appallingly bad piece of driving no apology was forthcoming, rather a tirade of insults.

This behaviour is unacceptable and you nor should society have to tolerate it.

You expect them to send a donation to RoSPA (royal society for the prevention of accidents) of

I like the carper's approach.
Col, you may have vindicated yourself after the "Top 100"....

Oh, pants - it was S2000SM.

Time to catch up on sleep, from that performance
