FLat tire with no damage...?

[LEXUSLEO]

Hit a drainage on the GSP, caused a flat, but no damage to the tire or rim...? re-inflated and now it's fine. WTF....?

Has anyone experienced this....?

I'd put the tire in a bucket/kid-pool to make sure there's no slow leak. You're pretty lucky I guess

What did you hit exactly? A drainage ditch or a drainage pipe? And how did you hit it with just one wheel? I assume the GSP is a road somewhere...

There is a chance that the tire hit so hard that it deformed enough to cause a large rim bead leak, which then snapped shut again on the recoil. Seems like that much force should have bent the wheel or some part of the suspension. It could also have broken some belts in the tire.

I was driving south on the Garden State Parkway. Right after paying the Toms River Toll right before exit 82. I believe I hit a drainage hole on a small bridge on the right hand lane. I checked the tire again today and no damage anywhere.
