I left my humble abode in the Fort Worth area Sunday morning headed for El Paso. It's a long drive, but 75 and 80 mph speed limits mitigate the duration of the boredom of that long trek. I arrived Sunday afternoon and parked in front of my uncle's house, got out and headed for the front door, then realized I'd left something in my truck and walked back to get it when I saw my right rear tire very seriously underinflated. Moments later it was completely flat.
The tires are All-Terrain T/As and only have about 5000 miles on them. About a month ago I had that same tire repaired for a puncture. I'm sitting in Discount Tire here in El Paso right this minute, waiting to find out what happened. The repair may have failed, or maybe not...I should know soon. I'm just glad that whatever happened did happen when it did, rather than an hour before while I was tooling down I-10 at 83 miles per hour!
Maybe I should have bought a lottery ticket.
