Curb/pothole? Sidewalls take a lot of stress and even a little bit of missing sidewall can cause a failure over time. Might have even been a tire bubble that just popped. Either way the only thing for sure is you need a new tire =P

I certainly would not have pulled off immediately to change the tire either. I take a wait and see approach as you did.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not but really though, given that I didn't SEE what caused this nor did I feel anything...I simply figured low air.

And presto...they got me bro..

No sarcasm here. To pull over the second the sensor goes off is not happening. Watch and wait. If I hit a pothole I am not heading directly to an alignment shop either, unless I felt something amiss.
