Do I Need To Re-Mount Tyre On Wheel After Fully Flat Situation Below?

[eyepea]

One tyre was fully flat.

Not due to puncture, but issue with loose valve. Valve tightened and tyre was inflated.

During inflating, air leaked out between rim and bead and tyre would not inflate.

This was due to tyre being deformed under weight of vehicle.

(Perhaps I should have jacked up vehicle a little before inflating).

Had to block gap between rim and bead temporally to get any air in. Could reduce air leak from gap with a few figures. So that would give an idea of size of gap.

As a certain amount of air got in, tyre regained shape and leak between rim and bead stopped.

Finally tyre inflated. OK.

This is obviously nothing to talk about although it was the first time I encountered it.

I can't see anything unusual and pressure has not noticeably dropped so far as per pressure gauge. Of course if the tyre was significantly off the wheel, I would have to get it re-mounted.

My question is :

Since only a temporary gap occurred between wheel rim and tyre bead and so far no air leak noticed between bead and rim, do I need to bother getting tyre re-mounted / re-seated on wheel ?

Or nothing to bother about?.

(At tyre shops, when mounting tyres on wheels, I have noted that after placing tyre on rim, air is pumped in and the pressure will hold the bead against the rim. But there the tyre is placed more or less uniformly on the rim. My concern is, can a tyre be held against the rim due to the air pressure and without any leak and still be kind of out of alignment ?. Not a big deal to go to a tyre shop and getting tyre checked, but I need to change my travel plans a bit to do that, hence the question)

Thanks

If there is no air leak, I guess there is nothing for you to worry about. But if the tyre was sitting flat for a long time, you might want to re-check whether the tyre has suffered damage due to the weight of the vehicle. What's the car anyway?

For your last question: If the tyre being used is one that is compatible with the rim, then it should ideally sit properly on the rim. The two "pop" sounds during pressurization of a newly installed tyre is the general indication which says that the tyre was seated on the rim. If you actually think about it, there is no chance that the tyre can go out of alignment because the air inside uniformly applies pressure all round, bringing the tyre to the correct position on the rim.

Small car - nissan march k11. Front Tyre. (so may be engine weight). May have been flat for max 1 hour or less.

Aha that is good. Many thanks for the clarifications.

If it's just an hour or so, you really don't have to worry about it.

Dont see anything to do further.... just keep your eyes on Tyre pressure for one hour even if the tyre is in medium condition it will not give you any problem.

thanks guys!
