do i just pull out the nail? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

do not use the walmart patches, they are not safe on fast cars. imagine going 100 on a track and the plug pops out.
go to a real tire place and have them dismount the tire and do a good patch. i think discount tire does them for free

question is how did you even notice that

The entire heads worn off and what your seeing is whats left of the shaft.......slowly being pushed further in.

Take it to a named tire shop, like Discount Tire. I know in Illinois its 'illegal' to drive with that in there. Discount is obligated to remove it and patch it, then sell you new tires with certifications! Lol

Looks like it may be a 4d finishing nail which is around 1 1/2" long...

When I had a nail in that deep the tire shop took my tire off the rim and patched it from the inside. Cost about $30 but patching from the inside is also the safest/strongest way.
