According to local newspaper reports, on September 18 departure of PIA Lahore to Manchester flight PK-709 was delayed due to burst tyre.

Flight PK-709 scheduled departure time is 12:40 PM. On September 18, PK-709 departed from Lahore at 3:27 PM. The replacement of tyre was delayed due to Friday prayer break taken by aircraft maintenance personnel who changed tyre, claims a news report.

On September 18, PIA Boeing 777-240ER registration AP-BGJ performed flight PK-709 from Lahore to Manchester, according to information on following link:

Probably AP-BGJ burst tyre when it landed at Lahore on September 18 as flight PK-758 from London.

Maybe it all started from Emergency landing in Bukhara with extra weight.
