Something went pop! :S

ok so i went tesco's, and looked at the passenger side rear tyre, and was low (slow puncture it looks like) so when leaving i put some air in it, it was at 10, so got it to 28psi

so driving and went around the roundabout, onto the straight and POP! from behind my mate (rear passenger side) i thought it was that tyre that popped, was only like 100metres from home, so carried on

looked at tyre, didn't look too bad, was a tad low, but not totally flat :S

i hope it's not the spring breaking or something, have had enough problems as it is

what other things could it be?

it's too dark to do anything now, so will do in the morning!

thanks in advance!

most likely the tyre, maybe the bead has snapped into place after being pushed inward with the tyres being low.

i thought that

also that side has more gap between tyre and arch (might be due to flat tyre/crap lighting)
i might be overthinking things like usual

good news really, was the tyre

took wheel off, and when i got it off, was shocked to see cracks in the whole side of the tyre wall on the side inside the arch!

and part of the cracked wall had blown open, i could fit 3 of my fingers in the gap

looks like whoever had it before me put a part worn/tyre thats been exposed to sun/rain and it's caused cracking

thank god it was just that

i am now running some nice tuck on that side with a spacesaver lmao
