It's going to be a bad day.
 Of course I have an early meeting today. Luckily I wasn't very far from home so I limped back on it and the sidewall looks okay despite being driven on it a little. I broke out the handy dandy 5 gallon air compressor and filled it back up to hear the unmistakable hiss of big ass nail in the tread. I didn't want to take it to the tire shop for repairs on it leaking so much air so quickly. If it was a slower leak I would but it is hissing almost as loud as if I were letting air out of the valve stem. Nonetheless, I think it's something that can be repaired. I'm going to take that tire off and schlep it to the tire shop in another car. If it needs to be replaced, I don't know whether I'll be able to get a new tire right away as these Toyo Proxes seem to be somewhat hard to come by. I hope today doesn't get any worse.

man that sucks. At least your tire didn't go flat far from home.

I'm going to take the wheel/tire off and take it in. I don't want to risk anything by driving in on it. Now should I put on the spare or leave it up on jackstands?

Had that happen last january... was just getting in the driveway home whem I heard a big hiss... had a big piece of glass from one of the neighbour's christmas decorations that had got thrown in the trash (and ended up in the street) stuck in one of my brand new Hakka 2s (they had 250km on them)... had to repace the tire ... stupid neighbours can't even throw their trash away properly
 The summer before it was a nail from one of the stupid neighbour's kids building a skateboard jump in brand new S-03s... I feel your pain - why can't people pick up after themselves

PNG/K: Leave it up...
you've always wanted to spray your pad carriers and detail your wheel wells, right?!

Shoot, I'd put a plug in it myself and air it up. It's a simple procedure and I've never had a plugged tire fail on me.
Were you going to have it patched from the inside? I do agree that is probably a better fix.
