Default ok advise on flat tyres please !!!!!

ok goit back from oxford earlier, when i was near my house and going slowly car was making a wooo wooo type noise, i pull over and look brifly and the drivers side rear wheel is totally and utterly flat

have i fooked me wheel too, the tyre dont pump uo at allm the outside edge of the wheel aint scraped or any black paint come of so just wondering what am i expecting

im guess with the day im having im gonna have to buy a new tyre ( all 4 are fooking brand new too)

could i just pop down a tyre gaff and the remove and reseat or is it fooked


oh and was it like it on the motorway as i was doing a fairly modest speed and overtaking wasnt any different, from what i noticed

would i have noticed on a saph ????

the tyre will be fucked (if you look at the side wall its probably grooved where the wheel has been running on it)

the rim should be ok though

The tyre is almost certainly beyond repair - when you get it off the rim, you will see it on the inside of the side walls, even if there isn't anything on the outside. Half a mile on the hard shoulder is enough to kill a tyre once it goes down.

hey i knpw where the locking wheel nut key is, the spare will fit but its a standard 15ins

i asked about the wheel as im gonna have a job finding a spare and ive never driven a car on a flat as in no air in it at all before, the beantins are easier to spot this ( then ive only ever had 3 puntures and all 3 times ive either hit a kurb or the last time i drove over some idiots remains of his headlamp after a crash

so pops

infact i may paint my wheels gold now just to show whos boss
