It's Never Easy With Me

On the way home from work last night, the air pressure sensor for my tires came on. I pulled over to check the tires, but they all looked fine. I made it home OK, but this morning, the right rear tire was half flat. So, I limped up to the gas station to refill it, but it didn't last long. Within a couple of hours, it was half flat again, and I could hear it leaking. So, I filled it with my portable air compressor and headed to the tire store. Of course, the nail nicked the sidewall, and if they repaired it, it probably wouldn't last. Doh! Why are things never easy for me? I do have a road hazard warranty for the tires from the car dealership, but that's in Lincoln, and I live in Omaha. Double Doh. So, I had the tire company put the spare tire on, and I will drive the tire down to the Nissan dealer to have it swapped out. The bad news, I'll now have 3 tires with 16500 miles on them, and one brand new tire, assuming they also agree that it can't be fixed. I honestly don't have time for this, but have no choice. I'm guessing that they will try to repair it first, rather than having to pony up for a new tire, and when it fails, then, and only then, will they replace the tire, which means "another" trip to Lincoln, and possibly being stranded on the side of the road somewhere when the patch fails. I said it before, why is it never easy with me?
