A. Driving on the motorway with a missing valve cap
B. A foreign body in the tyre

Comment

Damage to the tire by e.g. a nail or similar foreign bodies can lead to the loss of tire filling pressure. By driving with high speeds on highways, the tire heats up and the tire pressure becomes higher. This can escape air creeping if the valve cap is missing.
