      Check the tyre hasn't split at all.

      Having weight on a tyre with such low pressure can damage the side wall, and you don't want that blowing out!

        I'll second that - a tire run at low pressure can do severe damage to the side wall - and this isnt always visible externally. I'd get it looked at by a tire place you trust ASAP!

          At least hopefully the tyre ain't damaged and it was a cheap easy fix, I clipped a pothole/drain cover and that took quite a bit of air out my tyre which I thought was a knackered tyre etc.
