may just be a short tack and not do all the way in, just stuck in the tread block. Don't know till you yank it out.

I think I'd pull it out in the parking lot of a tire shop.....spray some water on it and check for leaks before driving away. It might not have pierced the tire and just got stuck in the rubber.

Pull and pray......that it didn't cause a leak. Do it in a tire shops parking lot.
