I have a question; do you think I need to patch it up? Anyhow here's the situation, I was on my front porch having a drink with a couple of buddies when I noticed something on one of my tires. Don't ask me how I saw it; I pay good attention to detail I guess. So I approach the wheel and notice there's a screw in my tire. I end up getting some pliers and yanking the screw out. I was expecting for the air to be coming out of my tire but instead nothing happen. The screw went in diagonally, does that mean my tire wasn't punctured? I check the pressure afterward and notice it's at 35psi; 6 hours later.... it's still 35 psi. Could I call this a sigh of relief?

yea it did not puncture the tire. i wouldn't worry about it but just check take a quick peak at it before u get in ur car on occasion and make sure its not low. u should be fine

 

I would still get it fixed, it's not really safe to just drive around with a nail. It might be fine now, but you never know when it's going to cause problems and have a sudden loss of pressure.

 

it will be fine...unless something else manages to get in that same spot and goes deeper...if anything happens just get a tire hole repair...walmart...probably like 4bux...good luck!

 

i wouldnt worry about it,u got lucky

 

wouldnt sweat it! =]

 

A nail in a tire is no big deal at all. If it leaks, plug it. If not, cool.
