Buckled wheel?


Conrad

Recommended Posts

I must have had a slow puncture on one of my back wheels and it was pretty low yesterday.

 

I totally forgot about it and booted the car, then the tire went really flat and it was a couple miles before I could get any air into it. Since I blew it up I get a judder from the wheel that feels like a buckle.

 

Could it be my alloy that's buckled or just my tire that's fooked?

This happened to me a couple of years ago and i drive to get off motorway :blink: this ruined the tyre wall and would suggest the same may have happened to you, it did no damage to the rim, i would get the tyre changed and balanced and they will tell you if the rim is ok as part of the fitment ;)

happened to me too. when running on flat for a bit the rim of the wheel was taking chunks out the inside of the tyre (not good).

 

i suggest you get the tyre changed asap and see if that sorts it. if not, it could well be something to do with your wheel.
