Damn construction going on all over the place around me. What housing recession? Ran over a screw, yesterday, today, last week. No idea. Just noticed it today and I guess it's possible that it did not completely penetrate the tread. It's a rear tire with 15.5K so not exactly what I would call a loss.

Question are:

1) If the screw has not completely penetrated the tread, should I remove it or leave it? And if I leave it, is there a risk that it will eventually work it's way through the tread? Tire has about 4/32nds left on it.

2) If it has penetrated is the screw too close to the sidewall to repair with plug/patch?

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: PULLED THE SCREW AND IT'S JUST SHY OF 1/2 INCH IN LENGTH (7/16 TO BE EXACT). Still no leak. Anyone know roughly what length it takes to penetrate the tread on a PS2 with about 4/32nd in tread?
