Tyre issue?

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.

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.
