The car started vibrating after a pothole and the tyre looks perfectly all right. That combination usually means the wheel took the hit rather than the rubber. On a low-profile tyre there is very little sidewall between the road and the rim, so a hard edge does not have far to travel before it reaches metal, and the alloy bends where a taller tyre would have absorbed the whole thing.
A buckle is easy to miss because it hides behind the tyre. The bend is usually on the inner flange, out of sight from the pavement, and the tyre sitting on it can look untouched and hold enough pressure to get you home. What you feel is a wobble that arrives at one particular speed and disappears again below it. Left alone it works the bead against a distorted seat until it starts leaking, and no quantity of balance weights will settle a wheel that is not running true. So when the tyre is fine and the car is not, the wheel comes off and gets spun.
A cut from road debris is the one that catches out careful drivers. Where it is beyond repair, the replacement goes on at the car in Little Marlow, balanced, pressures set, old tyre taken away. On the A4094, day or night, Munday Dean included, arrival across Buckinghamshire runs 30 to 60 minutes. We are out on the M40 near junction 4 at 2am and in Pound Lane at 2pm.

The lanes towards Little Marlow and the climbs up to Marlow Bottom break up at the edges over winter and keep their potholes in shadow, which is hard on wheels as much as on tyres. Because the fitter comes to the car, an inspection can happen where it is standing rather than at the end of a drive that may well be making a buckle worse.
A car off the A404 had picked up a shudder through the steering once it was up to pace. The tyre had no marks worth mentioning at all. Spun on the balancer, the wheel was visibly running out on its inner lip, which no amount of weight was ever going to hide.
Large wheels and shallow sidewalls look right on the car and give the alloy almost nothing to shelter behind. A drain edge on one of the narrow lanes had put a flat spot into a flange, and the tyre had come out of the encounter in better shape than the wheel.
Kerbing on Dean Street had marked the alloy face and pinched the tyre against it at the same moment. There was a slight bulge low on the wall, which is casing damage and not open to negotiation, and the rim needed straightening. Mentioning only one would have been the easy answer.
Very often the wheel rather than the tyre. A buckle on the inner flange sits out of sight and still throws the whole assembly out of true, which shows up as a wobble that appears at one speed and vanishes below it.
Because there is less rubber between the road and the rim. A tall sidewall deforms over a pothole and recovers. A shallow one runs out of travel, and then the edge of the hole meets the alloy directly.
Often it can, by a specialist, and we will say when that is the sensible route. What happens at the car is getting the tyre off, seeing the state of the flange and giving you a straight answer about it.
No, and it is the more urgent one. A bulge means casing cords have broken inside and the tyre is holding pressure on whatever is left of them. That is a replacement whatever the tread looks like.
They will not. Balancing corrects weight distribution around a wheel that already runs true. If the wheel itself is bent, the shape is wrong, and weight does not change a shape.
