Yesterday my wife came home and said she heard a thumping noise that varied with speed. We drove around the block and I could hear it too. Looked at the left side tires (not carefully enough as it turned out) and didn't see anything. This morning she gets in, drives less than a block and notices the TPMS light on. Pulls back into the garage and the left front tire is just about flat.
Haven't jacked it up yet to see what the issue is. I assume it's a puncture that won't be covered under warranty. If it's a repairable puncture, my dilemma will be do I get it repaired for $15-20 and then worry about it for the next 40,000 miles or bite the bullet and spend $125 (Tirerack price) on a new tire. I suspect my wife will want a new tire and it's probably worth it for the piece of mind.
