When a rear tire is losing pressure you should be feeling very sluggish 
handling, even in a straight, followed by a low pitched whining, followed by 
almost complete loss of handling, followed by that burnt rubber smell.

You will know you are losing pressure in the front tire when the road in 
front of you starts getting closer to your face, very quickly. :-)
