You need to be careful when doing this, so you don't create an "impact break" (air bubble) on the sidewall of the tire (although impact breaks ARE covered under road hazard warranty, if you bought it with the tires).

Wow did you just say to get under the car and kick the tire? never get under a car and kick at it. You can simply kick the tire standing up.
