On lunch break, about 100 yards from my destination I ran over a rock or something (heard it shatter into pieces) and just knew something would be wrong with a wheel. Hopped out, sure enough, hissing sound and a big nail in the tread. Closest shop to get the car to was 3 miles away and the quickest way was the interstate (which i was a half mile from). I hauled ass to the shop and pulled in on 10psi. They just called and said they patched it, but is there any other damage (TPMS / tire beads / Rim itself) that could have been caused from a 80mph 3 mile trip on a rapidly leaking tire? I was about 16-20 PSI on the hwy

The tire could get damaged and the sensor could get hurt but not likely.

As for the rim of the tire pops off then ya itll damage the wheel but if its on there it wont damage the wheel.

A quick inspection of the inside of the tire will reveal damage. running a tire low will wear a ring inside if the tire, the inside of what the side wall would be on the outside. Hope you went to a place that cares.
