AC - Slime has a real nice compact 12V air pump (Walmart $9.99) you should get to reinflate your tires for the street ride home. Not a good idea to be riding along at highway speeds with 5 psi in the tires - besides extra wear and heat buildup in the tire, I would be afraid it would come off the rim at 70mph with pressure that low.
