Glad I decided to check the tire pressure
Wife was late getting home, so I decided to check the fluids and pressures.
To my surprise, the valve core was on the bottom and visible on the limited. Pressure was 38 (right where it's supposed to be). Was really surprised when I looked saw the masonry nail sticking out of my sidewall.
The good news is I had a spare wheel with a new tire ready to go on. Only had 13K on the tire. It should have had another 8k miles of life. It did make me feel good to know it's a runflat and wouldn't have really made much difference if it had blown out.
