Found 2 Nails in my rear passenger side tire

So....it's been there for over a week. What should I do? It's not leaking or anything. Should I still go get it fixed?

Good grief! You've been riding on a flat for that long? Listen to everyone...it may cause more damage.

The tire is NOT flat. There is no air leaking. I check the tire pressure before I drive it everyday. But the nails are there.

Lek, do me a favor. Go over a few pot holes with that tire and report back. That should answer your question what you should do with the tire.

Yeah, you're still running a risk though about the entire tire and wheel damage for that matter. Good luck getting it fixed.

Don't do it...the tip of the nail/screws should fall off eventually and the metal left in it will give it that classy bling bling unique look. Needless to say, it may even give you additional traction if its still sticking out.....

ha.ha.ha..yes, you should get it fixed...dear lord...go run a nail into your hand...put a bandage around it...humm, it only hurts if I move the nail and it looks like tetanus is setting in but I can still move my fingers so I should be OK... But I won't rag on you too much; I had to screws on my front tire for 2 weeks...my poor G.
