Tyre issue?

[cje001]

All,

 

Just had the lovely task of changing my wheel while picking my daughter up front school!

 

Flat as a pancake.

 

Checking the tyre i cannot see any sign of a puncture, no nails, glass etc. There is a plug where it has been repaired before my ownership.

 

The tyre on the inside looked like it has fallen off the wheel, this could obviously be because i had driven a few hundred yards before hearing/feeling the issue and stopping to resolve.

 

Apart from a puncture, are there any other things that could have gone wrong to cause this? I`ve not hit any kurbs etc recently....

 

May be a daft question but thought i`d ask anyway before venturing to the local tyre place tomorrow to get it checked.

have you checked the actual tyre valve isnt leaking? can only be that or someone let it down if you're sure you dont have a puncture

Ill check the valve mate, was all fine this morning. 99% no one has let it down either.

 

Ah well, worth an ask, see what the garage say. Just odd as i`ve had plenty of punctures before and you can usually see a nail/glass/thorn/tear etc...

 

Thanks.

I have had this on the Supe and Vicki's Celica. They tyre has lost a large amount of pressure but once pumped up it has stayed inflated. It once happened to me whilst out and about and I wondered if a pothole had banged the tyre out of shape for a second and a lot of air had come out at once.
