So I’m on the way to my family reunion in west Pennsylvania. And while traveling through North Carolina my front right tire goes from properly inflated to almost completely flat in about 2 seconds from what I can tell. Luckily I was passing an offramp when it happened so I was able to exit the highway immediately. Unfortunately it was at night when it happened so I get to find a tire place at some point tomorrow.
I was going to be stopping for a hotel room anyways but I guess this made the decision for me. Once I got the spare tire installed (thankfully we remember to check its air pressure) we drove across the street where there was lodging available. No sign of what caused the loss of pressure in the tire, there’s no obvious holes, rips, or tears anywhere. We even had the car run through a safety inspection prior to leaving. :-/
Anyways I’ll probably be back by Monday, I’ll try to post some pictures of the farmland my family lives on as well, as it’s fairly beautiful at times.
_Update:_I had a second tire go flat on me in West Virginia too, still on the way up. wtf.
