The chrome plating on my wheels has large bubbles which caused three of my tires to lose air. Luckily the low tire pressure warning light came on. I was on an interstate and by the time I found a gas station the tires were between fifteen and twenty pounds. Luckily I knew enough to slow down or I would have had a blow-out.
