Wife went to go run an errand and while backing out the driveway the tire came off the wheel?

i never drive her Honda Odyssey so the tire pressure I have no idea.

anywho the van needs new tires anyway so is it even worth trying re-seat the bead? Or just pop the spare on and go to discount.

This is new to me, how does this happen?

Cant try putting a ratchet strap around it, take the core out of the stem and charge air to it. Sometimes they seat
 
Low or flat = easy to pop off bead . And if turning it happens even faster .

Spare it . Chk psi all tires and go get her new like u said it needs .

And tell her that warning light in the dash is not a xmas tree light .
 
Put spare on...
weird the air pressure light wasn’t on or so she says. Tires need replacing anyway.
Just weird the bead just popped like that.
 
15+ years in the tire game and now i am out i still get blown away the stuff my friends send me pics of that happen .
 
Clearly it was nearly flat. The real question is did the TPMS fail, or perhaps your wife didn't notice the little light? might have the wheel sensors checked when you get the new tires. I wouldn't F with that tire, just throw the spare on.
 
Curious as to what year Honda it is. I'm driving a 2019 Passport. The dash setups between the Odyssey, Pilot and Passport for that year are pretty much identical.
For whatever reason, I had a series of tire problems last year, and on that model, its pretty hard to ignore a low tire warning. There is a big warning message that pops up on the speedometer display, and keeps coming back.
You can clear it, but it keeps an icon on the multimedia display, and warnings keep showing up on the instrument cluster.

However, if the tire was not too low when she parked it, then went flat, she might have gotten in, cranked up and started backing up before noticing the warnings.
I did that once. I was in a hurry, cranked up, shifted into reverse, backed up and when I started forward saw the warnings.
You said it happened in the driveway as she was backing out.

2012 odyssey touring about 160,000 miles.

she went to go run somewhere quick, backed out of the driveway, then the tire came off and drove right back up the driveway. Then came and got me and said “I don’t know, something happened”
 
No idea what a 2012 uses for a low tire alert. This is my first Honda. I know when the systems first came out, some were just warning lights.
But the one on my car is pretty hard to miss. 7 years ago, who knows. Pretty sure you will find a big nail or something in that tire with little wear on it.
In other words, I'm thinking it happened fairly soon before she parked.
I assume you have already done something about it, but if not, try cranking the car and see what kind of warning system you can see.
I know it has a warning system, I see the sensor on the picture. However, after 7 years the battery may have gone bad and a PO might have disabled the system rather than replacing the sensors. A lot of them did not have replaceable batteries in the sensors, and it could get quite pricey to replace them.
There was, and still is, a lot of ripping off about that system. Most of them require a special machine to reprogram the system so that it knows when you rotate tires and install new sensors. And a lot of shops charge way too much to do it.

Car companies did not make things easier. For a long time, some makes could not be reprogrammed in the field. You had to take it back to the dealer.
The repair equipment people finally got systems out that would handle most makes, but there might still be some holdouts.
Plus, if a shop has to shell out $800 for a programmer, its hard to fault them for charging for the service. But some go overboard.
The same thing happened with code readers. And still does in some places. Some shops charge a lot to download the codes out of a car. But in some cases it might be justified. You can buy a good code reader for under $100. But if you want to read transmission codes or body codes, you usually have to pay annual subscriptions for each make of car. Those fees add up, and force shops to charge to read codes.
Some TPMSes are still in that category now.
 
All new tires... they needed replacing anyway. The discount tire guy was telling my wife she needs these $230 a tire tires.

she called me and I said no get the $75 a tire ones. He was trying to sell her on the $230 by how well they handle snow...

We live in Arizona you dolt. Anyway,
Hahahahaha
 
Guarantee the tire was flat and popped off when turning and backing up. If it just got a small puncture last time she drove it and went flat sitting the driveway there is a good chance she hadn't noticed the warning light yet. Really no other explanation for this as tires do not randomly pop off beads when properly inflated unless they are subject to very hard impacts, and generally in those cases there is damage to the rims or it slits the tire. Usually you can easily tell if a tire has been driven at very low air pressures for any period of time at speed, and I don't see anything in that picture that would indicate that happened.

For anybody that has ever mounted tires on wheels it's not a big deal to seat the bead most of the time, and definitely not a big deal to at least try. Put an air chuck to it and see what happens. You definitely would need to jack that tire off the ground (there is exactly 0% chance you can seat it with the weight of the vehicle still on it) and maybe pull the tire outwards. Some combinations of low profile tires or rims that are on the wider side can cause issues, and sometimes having the inner bead still seated can make it more difficult. But on that size tire it shouldn't be that hard. I've personally changed tires on our previous Odyssey with the same rims and it was no issue. Speaking of which that model has TPMS warnings on the dash, but I could see how you may not notice them in this situation. On our '19 Odyssey it would be hard to not notice the warning!
