nail is stuck deep in rear driver side tire
i have a nail that is stuck in my rear driver side tire, the nail is stuck flush with the tire, it is not sticking out or anything, how do i go about pulling this one out?
also, when i get it out, should i patch or plug it?
if i plug it , that means i have to take the bolts off and take tire out, could this be bad for the car? ive done it before though

bring it to a respectable tire shop and get it patched, plugs are temporary. it will be around $20 for a patch and your good. i have been driving with a patched tire for 2 years and it has been just fine

I'm running a few plugs theyve never leaked on the road or on harsh off road trails.
A plug is something you can do with the tire still on the vehicle it only takes a few minutes and is very easy.
As for the nail i would say get some vice grips and see if you can wiggle it out, maybe try getting a little dishsoap on there for lubrication if its giving you troubles

my neighbor probably has 3 or 4 in each tire as he works at a door shop. no problems to date.
So simple my neighbor that doesn't even know how big his engine is can do them.

Been working at Discount tire for over 2 years. Dont plug it. Take it to a DT and have them patch it. The patch willl out last the tire itself. If you plug it, moisture can get past the plug, then to the steel belts, then rust forms. And that aint good. O and flat repairs are always free.
