Yep, will be fine. If you dont have any reseating gear, any tyre shop will help.

Dude I think you just got some crap between the tire and rim. Causing the bead to leak. take it to a tyre store pull it off the rim clean mud/rocks out and reseat. I used to do this evey week with my tires. was bloody annoying

:armsup: all fixed
broke the bead and cleaned out the krap loads of mud that was in there
reinflated it and it all popped back into shape . cant even tell where the warp was

im happy :P and learnt how to break and reseal a bead.. should feel safer now when im out and about knowing i can do it.
taking the tyre off the rim is another story though.

Take it off, lay it down, and just get someone to drive onto the tyre.
Pops off just like a toe with a bolt cutter....
