Replacement tire on order and will be picking it up tonight.

I will say that the car is definitely squirrelly running on the doughnut on the rear. Not undrivable or dangerous but you do have to be careful (as you would expect I suppose).

Also, not sure how those of you that run without the pressure sensors tolerate the idiot light. it is very bright at night, and just in your face. I suppose a piece of electrical tape would fix that!

I run with that light on from November 1st to March 31st. You get used to it after a few days and then when it isn't on you wonder what is wrong for a bit.
