    Hey,

    How bad does this look. Tyre is brand new, only about 100KM on it.

    Once it's not on the sidewall you shouldn't have any trouble getting it repaired.

    has it punctured the tyre ,or is it just stuck in the rubber thread, if so then no damage done just remove it with a pliers and you should be ok

    Tyre isn't punctured.

    Would leaving it in be a bad idea? have no spare if it goes down just one of the temp fix pumps with sealant.

    I wouldn't leave it in under any circumstances. A repair (if possible) should only cost around €10

    Very bad idea, since with wear that nail will get driven in even further.
    Also, as for not punctured: It may look ok, but it also could be that you pull that nail, the next thing you will hear is "ffffssssssssssshhhhhh..."
    Drive to the nearest tire place ASAP and have it pulled out there, if it's punctured they can fix it there and then.
    Just because no air is escaping, doesn't mean it's not punctured and I'm willing to be it is.

    Right so, I'll pull it out in the morning and hope for the best. Will post a pic of what it is and the resultant damage.

    I'd be pretty sure its punctured too. Tyres are designed to seal around a nail like this and more or less seal itself. It will leak in time though, a slow puncture that will get faster over a short enough period. Presumably because of the flexing and movement of the tyre.

    Anyway, it can be repaired pretty much good as new as other posters have said.

    Like all the other posters suggested its to take it down to your local tyre repair and if out is punctured it can either be plugged for only a €5 or s new tube from €10 - €15

    Don't pull it out if you have no spare. If it leaks you'll be stuck.

    Bring it to a tyre repair place and let them pull it out, then if punctured they can repair and if not there should be no charge.

    Bad advice there IMO.

    A plug is supposed to be temporary repair and a tube should NEVER be used with a tubeless tyre!

    A tyre repair shop will take off the tyre and fit a proper patch over the puncture.

    Neither of those are correct methods of repairing modern tyres.

    Sorry guys... It had ben a while since I repaired a tyre and of course the correct method is to get a patch on the inside of it.... :(
