Nipped oput at lunch and realised my tyre was nearly flat. Drove it half mile up the road and pumped the tyre up to 32 psi.

Drove back to work and it was still inflated but hssing, Popped out an hour later and the hissing has stopped and the tyre is still inflated.

Do you think its fine to carry on driving now?

Just keep an eye on it really, check it every time you come to the car for a couple of days and check it again in the morning with a tyre pump.

has happend to my car recnetly, i think its the weather more than anything to be honest, mine stayed up for a month or so and i just looked baout 20 mins ago and its completly flat again. maybe the metal in the bead of the tyre losing its air tight seal a wee bit because of the changing temperatures. just a theory.
