What to do when a tubeless tire separates from the wheel hub?

Check the tire and rim for any damage, then directly reinstall the tire onto the rim to reset it. Find a high-power air pump to inflate the tire. Tubeless tires rely on air pressure to stay attached to the steel rim—the more air pressure, the less likely it is to lose air.

I've been in auto repair for nearly 20 years. It's common to see tubeless tires separating from the wheel rims due to deflation, mainly caused by prolonged low tire pressure leading to loose bead seats. First, safely pull over and turn on hazard lights - never force drive to avoid rim damage. Try using a portable air pump to reinflate and reseat the tire if possible, but severe separation may require professional high-pressure tire mounting equipment or rim inspection. Make it a habit to check tire pressure monthly (at least 2.5 bar when cold) to significantly reduce risks. Remember, a $20-30 tow service is much cheaper than replacing damaged tires later.
