Nail in Tire... Again

I'm not sure why my luck is this way, but I got another nail in another tire. I've only had this car since Oct. 2020 and this is my 3rd nail in a 3rd tire. The only thing that made this one not so bad is that it didn't immediately make my tire go flat. 

I was driving to choir practice on Tuesday, February 27 and I noticed my tire pressure light came on. I immediately changed the digital screen that's on my dash to the one that shows the tire pressure. I see the passenger rear tire is 10 psi lower than all the rest, but it was holding steady. I prayed that it would stay steady the rest of the night (since nowhere is open at 7:30 or 9:oo pm). Luckily it did. I decided I would take my car in to have the tire checked the next day.

The next day came and I took my car/tire in for a look. The tire was still at the same psi as it had been the night before. I told them about the tire and they took a look. After about 20 min they came back with the nail stating that is what was causing the air to leak out of my tire. The good news is they could repair the tire. I agreed and waited another 20 minutes for my tire to be fixed. It's been holding air steady since. Glad this nail situation didn't turn out like some of the others have!
