Puncture or cracked wheel

So, driving home last night my idrive informed me of low pressure on my (RFT) tyre. When I check it, it has literally 0PSI, holding no pressure at all, when I pump air in I can hear it coming out.

I am hoping this just a puncture as I have ordered a brand new full set of tyres (they were all due to be replace next month anyway).

Does this sound like a puncture or cracked rim to you guys? should the crack be obvious to see? Ill give it a good look tonight.

(twist style 19" wheels)

Thanks

It could be a huge range of things. Best bet is to take it to a tire shop. It is probably a cracked wheel or punctured tire.

The only way to know is to take the wheel off and inspect the tire, along with the barrel for any damage.

Not always easy to spot cracks..especially with the amount of brake dust we get.
