Default Just got my new tires... then flat.... thanks NYC!

Just got my tires 245/45/17 on the GS. Last night noticed I had low air. Took out my air pressure guage and check it. 6psi left. Oh damn! When I drove I can hear the flat noise making but drivable 20mph and less . Drove to a gas station put air to 32psi and then drove home. Woke up this morning @ 10 psi. Nice slow leak! Went to my tire shop then I saw it . Cost me 30 minutes to fix and $10. They then marked it, took it out and burn the inside to patch it correctly. You can actually see how big and thick it is. As you can see it went in half way and bent the rest it smooth out do to driving.

I LOVE NYC!

Flats are pita anytime, but on brand new tires? That's just not right, bummer.
