Seeking some advise from you tire experts ....
My rear driver side wheel just suddenly went completely flat this morning. Unfortunately I did not realize so until I backed the car out of the garage. But the fortunate part was that I backed out very slowly (under 5 mph) and only rolled for about 10 feet. After realizing the tire was flat, flat, and I had no other feasible options, I literally bit the bullet and drove the car back (very very slowly) to garage (and onto level ground).
So I basically drove on flat tire, however slow, for 20 feet. My first instinct was a nail causing the leak. So I removed the tire, inspected it but found nothing what so ever to explain for the leak. Side wall of the tire appeared also "undamaged" from driving on it. I then refilled some air back into the tire to 40 psi and now it's just sitting there (off the car) under observation.
My question is "is the tire still safe to use"? Tire is still in great condition with good amount of tread left. What do you guys advise?
