Damn it! Realized there was a nail in my tire and had to go get it fixed. Tried to see if it was fixable but the nail was way too close to the side wall of the tire. I actually felt the end of the nail when I pushed on the side wall. Took it back to the dealer and luckily didn't have to replace both back tires (so the tires are balanced) because the tires are relatively new. The down side was I still had to replace a tire instead of repairing it. Anyhow, at least the tire didn't blow and I didn't get stranded. Thanks to the CRV's tire pressure monitor. It had warned me that the tire was low and triggered me to check the tires out. Thanks Honda, I guess.

Nail in tire = cash out of pocket...
