Oh, FWIW and BTW, in case this "loud pop" happens someone else when they graze the curb and pop the tire's bead: MAYBE you can use air pump to re-inflate and get outta there.

Would be for a short trip and very slowly of course.

Depends on how much the tire is unseated from rim. Considering the direction of the air flow a _short_ "explosive" release of air could _possibly_ allow the bead to stay seated.

Just a guess... .


Looks like Mike's bead is still intact.

Mike: was the tire _punctured_?



Hi MMD, that wheel was flat instantly. It was pierced/slashed through in 2 places on the side wall
