Because the back end is reasonably light and they are low profile tyres we couldnt even tell the back drivers side was flat whan going 100kms. Cost $270 for 1 new tyre. Tried to claim on warranty from Beauripaires (through Ford warranty) but they found a nail hole - Bugger! Good service from them though.

I have the same tyres. Almost had the same incident except I noticed the car pulling left - checked the back rear left tyre and it was down to 21PSI, but visually you couldn't even tell. Checked the tyre and found a dirty big nail it that I'd driven on for a good 3 weeks. Luckily was repaired for $30 and car now goes straight. Pays to check tyre pressure fortnightly.
