The rear tire of my RX3 also mysteriously went flat while I was riding about 5 miles from home. I limped home on the flat tire, and seized the opportunity to install the Shinko 244 tire several days later.

When I changed the tire I noticed a very small nick in the inner tube. The small hole had not been caused by a puncture, since it was located on the inner portion of the tube, near the rim. The rim strip was in perfect condition, and none of the spokes were protruding from the nipples. I surmise the tube was probably damaged during installation of the tire at the factory.

I replaced the inner tube, but it can certainly be patched. The tube was in very good condition, except for the small nick, which lasted about a week, and sustained about 500 miles of riding before it failed.
