Yesterday my girlfriend drove to Crewe from stoke and after probably 10-15 of driving with a flat tyre :o realised the tyre was flat. Got it to a petrol station and pumped it up, it's actually stayed inflated all night so god knows how long it's been going down for or whether there is a puncture.

I drove it last night and above 40mph there is a big vibration coming through the steering wheel, almost feels like the car is driving on a ribbed surface.

Is it possible she's buckled the alloy driving around with it at such low pressure?
Or could it be something cheaper to fix like the tracking?
 
Ok thanks guys. Was hoping it wasn't alloy replacement. And we are talking 5psi when she got to the petrol station!

Given her my work car and got a lift into work. Will take it to a tyre place later :(
