It is designed to stay at the bottom to avoid the "thump thump thump" that would otherwise occur as you roll to a stop.

I noticed that too!
You never get a flat at the top!

It's beacuse all punctures are "Slightly rippled, with a flat underside".

Because it's never the bit at the top so it always has to be the bit at the bottom

When you are driving, the tyres get hot and make the air inside hot.

Hot air rises, so when you get a flat any air left inside goes to the top.

And when you buy a flat, why is it always up so many stairs?

Why, when you are looking for something, is it always in the last place you look (or were thinking of looking, which is more to the point!)

It's just one of those things, like the last bit of toothpaste, the last scrape of Marmite ... the time you cut your tongue licking up the last bit from the sardine can.

As for the one who said "The thing that makes the hole is always at the bottom" ... NOT true! It will always be on a very obvious place on the outer tube which bears no relation to the hole on the inner (if it's a bicycle) ... or it will be impossible to find what made such a large hole.

When you have a flat tyre, it is always the time that you least needed it, too. Like you are dressed up for a wedding or have just 30 minutes to make a 28 minute journey or it's raining for the first time in months. Or a combination of all three!

Simple really. Tyre manufacturers make sure that the flat is always on the bottom so that your car dosn't roll away when you get out to look at it !!

It's you who's got my joke book!

Because the weight of the car is pushing the air out, and it is against the road, so therefore looks flat, surely?

Thats gravity for you

Because that's the bit that baring the weight.


Ah!

The joys of gravity.

The rigidity of the tire carcass won't allow it to collapse onto the rim, where as the weight of the vehicle will press down on top the tire under the rim.....
