Flat Tire... (#%$@*^&!!!!!)

:evil:

Anyway... I took a half day to do some annoying errands and on my way back to work at noon I was doing 90+ on the highway and the car felt solid.

I get off the highway to the street where my buildidng is (which is under construction and is a total mess) and drive into my building and park, and as I leave the car I see my right rear tire (255/35 ZR18 RE040) is totally flat. Put the donut on, the culprit seems to be a very narrow slice about 3/4 of a inch long. I don't know how deep the slice is though.

I hope it can be patched. I only have about 10K miles on these tires and they have at least half the tread left. I'm also not in the mood to spend $500 bucks on two rear tires.
