    darn. sorry to hear that. some days it just seems that you cant get going. I'd gauge those other tires I've picked em up pretty darn low on psi and its usually multiples. I'm sure the repair truck will have a compressor if the others need inflation as well.

    Wise choice to wait on service truck. #1 it's a ticket with a fine if you get caught, #2 it will probably shred and throw shrapnel and god forbid debris hits a car behind you. Never chance, do the right thing.

    Also, get your triangle's out within 15 minutes if you break down on the road (or have a blow out). Should a cop be around and you don't, that is also a ticket with a fine.
