Gotta love 'em.
Picked this up on my way between deserts... luckily, it was a slow leak, and I was able to limp a few miles to a gas station with a working air pump (the first one was broken). Made it all the way to desert two; overnighted and had something like 22psi on it this morning. Took me three gas stations to get it aired up, and the tire held the air all day. In fact, for some weird reason, the pressure in the tire increased as I drove to the tire shop.
At any rate, the nail is too close to the side wall, so I ended up replacing it and its sister in the rear. Another weird thing: the TPMS thinks this right rear tire is in the right front position.
