Something weird happened yesterday on the motorway. Going from Faisalabad towards Lahore, there was a construction area near the first petrol pump. Not too long after that area I heard something big and loud hitting the car body above the tyre. So I thought it was some piece of stone that usually happens all the time on the motorway but soon after, the car started to feel difficult to steer and really soon after that felt like going out of control, luckily I had already started slowing down to come to a stop so there was no issue.
But to my surprise, the tyre was completely flat and upon inspection the tyre sidewall was damaged because of sudden loss of pressure. And the tyre had quite a big hole in it. None like I've seen before in any of my cars
My question is, would a tire sealant be a good solution in such a scenario? Would a tyre pressure monitor system help to see if there is some sudden loss of pressure?
