36 => 31 psi pressure drop. Worth worrying about?
One of my rear tyres has dropped from 36 to 31 psi since Friday. Typically it's Sunday, and I need to drive 150 miles back to work this evening. Running hands round tyre, I can't feel anything obvious, but pulled a small 1/8..1/4 inch flint shard out of the thick part of the tread.
Do you folks reckon it's OK to drive on this week until I can get it checked, and fixed or replaced? Have re-inflated and am checking to see what the pressure-drop is like in the next hour or two. Tyres have 6500k on them.

I decided to use a plug to repair it. The fix works like a charm and no problem at all since then. Ohh yes, and I paid 7 British Pounds instead of the 230 pounds required for the new tire. So save yourself some money and see if you can use a plug instead.
