Duncan,

You may want to check the sidewall/shoulder of that deflated tyre, I've no idea how long it was flat for, but if you've been driving it flat the sidewall is likely to be damaged and bulging. I know you've had one blow out already, luckily at a slow speed, you don't want to risk another one.
