Tire flat???
OK soooo I wake up this morning and my tire's flat.. I don't know WHY.... I don't know HOW! I put some air in it and now it's fine? Wondering if this has happened to anyone else w/stock tires. (NO i didn't run over anything i'm very careful about avoiding pot holes too!)

I checked my right front tire one day about 2 months ago and found it at 18 psi...pretty low.
Added air and it's been fine since. I keep a pen-sized pressure guage in the car and am pretty careful about checking -- it's hard to tell just by looking.

Cindy, check your tire for perhaps a small nail that could of leaked the air out overnight. If so, just simply take it to any gas station and tire shop and have them put a plug in it (no more than $5 to do).
The only thing else I can think of is some stupid asshole was messing with your car?

I'm going to check it out before I head home from work, I'm right next to a gas station so I'll be fine.. my dad gave me the pressure gage so I'm good to go. I don't think I ran over anything? Yet I could have a nail? Anyways I would have to take the tire to the auto shop to get replaced on sat when I have a chance to go and thanks mav I know it should be about $5 if something is wrong with it. I know when I had my civic the night before my dad was checking the pressure on my tires and woke up the next morning w/no air in it. He just bent the air intake and it leaked slowly through the night after that it was fine. I guess it's a wait and see process...

I have another question as one of my tires has a slow leak. Do the tire shops that plug the tire scratch up the rims? I have chromed rims and I use to take my old car to get a tire plugged every once in a while and I noticed that they always pulled my tire off will a crow bar. Would this scratch the rim? I had hub caps on my old car so it wasn't an issue, but I don't know if I should take the chance with my baby.

I just had my tire patched and they didn't scratch the rim. Take it to America's Tire Company in Torrance and they'll fix it for free. Just ask fro arnel. He's a fellow S2K owner.
