I took a late night ride just now and Kat was great in the straights but had a bad feeling in turns, not stable as usual. Got home and took a tire check and PSI was 5 lbs off in front and 3 off in back. Filled em up and took short round about the sub and bike felt completely different. Who would have thought that little psi makes the difference.

in the winter i'll drop 1/2 psi in the front.
an under inflated tire will wear on the sidewalls more & run hotter, to much air they'll run cooler & will have a smaller footprint
you should get in the habit of the checking the pressure OFTEN if not every ride. it will let the tire run at it optimum heat range & a tire thats inflated properly is less likely to have a failure.

i'd replace it. a rear flat is bad enough but if the front lets loose at
a higher speed you may be looking for more than a new tire.
