Changing tires at home for the first time, I just realized that my
left-front R1 is only inflated to 11 psi.  Is it safe to drive 1/2 mile to a
gas station to inflate the tire?

The trip involves <25 mph speeds, 4 turns (including the turn into the
station), and one steep hill.  My car is very front-heavy, 2800 lb., and
FWD.

Opinions?  Hopefully I'm just making a mountain out of a mole hill about
this (though I must admit I've never seen a mole hill).

Thanks,

Seth Frader-Thompson
