Angry I got a flat!!! But had a question??

So today i noticed my car was driving weired well finally i noticed my Driver side rear tire was flat (From a stupid ass screw) not all the way but pretty damn close. Well i plugged the hole I probably put 10 or so mile on it before realizing it was gong flat. (I know You don't have to tell me) But after fixing and airing it up i drove it and it fells like I'm riding a horse carriage, I am a little new to lower profile tires keep this in mind. At first i thought **** my rim is probably bent, well i adjusted my mirror so i could see the tire and rim, well the tire was like warped looking almost like the sidewall has a huge bulge in it, while moving it looked like it was going in and out, the rim didn't look bent, it seemed to be the tire. Do low profile tires damage easy when riding a flat? I'm sure since i put 10 miles on it, it has to be the tire.

Sounds like you broke a belt and the tire is done for!
