Trust me, the tire would deflate LONG before I hit the freeway if that was the case lol. That's a pretty big hole.

I was driving for a solid 20 minutes on the freeway before low tire pressure came on. And it was a matter of a maybe 5 minutes after that came up before the tire went flat and the rim started molesting it.

I'm just glad it was the rear tire. It's only rubber at the end of the day.

Glad to see you and the car are ok. Could have been a lot worse.

Not to make a bad situation worse, but the low tire pressure light came on and you continued to drive another 5 minutes?

Yeah..just like any normal person would. I really thought the tire just needed air, which is the case 99% of the time. I couldn't have possibly assumed that I had a hole the size of a 9mm bullet! I didn't feel nothing, I didn't see nothing.
