Had to get wife to rescue me with a bike pump and try to get anough air in the tyre to get the last half mile home very slowly with air escaping fast from the tyre.
I had an odd puncture on my vfr last May on a Michelin PR4. I wanted to plug it by the roadside but could not find a hole to fix. Had to use tyreweld foam to get it to stay up for more than 5 minutes.
My local tyre shop couldn't see where the fault was either. I fitted a Conti after that.
