Sorry, stupid question, but I don't know what to do: I drove over a curb today with my right rear tire, and when I got out to check if everything's alright, I found a nail stuck in the tire. It went in where the thread starts, alongside the tire wall. The tire looks good, it didn't lose any pressure, but this two inch nail is in it now. Should I just leave it there?

if its right on the curve of the sidewall, a shop will not fix it. Atleast they won't here. I have the same thing. I pulled the nail and then used fix a flat. Works fine now. No air loss
