Dude at the tyre store thought it may have been a nail that caused the initial puncture, but since the pressures in the tyre was still adequate, I did not feel anything for awhile. In retrospect, I do remember hearing a strange ticking noise now and again for the last 3 weeks. Like I said, no obvious deflation as I remember checking tyre pressures about a week ago.
SO the further damage was probably done after I took the car out for a drive on Saturday up to the hills, then on Sunday a.m. the tyre started deflating. Don't think warranty will cover that. Had Yoko's in the past on my RX-8, switched from Bridgestones. Was very happy with them, but the current front tyres may be too thin therefore lacking front end grip. Ended up paying $420 for the replacement tyre; guess it'll be awhile before I change them again +/- new wheels.
