Im not sure how long this has been there but its at least 48 hours. Anyway I am scared to try & take it out myself. The tire seems fine w/ it in there & I dont want to mess w/ it. I had to drive to work w/ it like that today too, I was so scared! But its fine so far...& the tire still has all its air.
I will most likely just go buy a new tire....Grrrr!!! It sucks. I wonder if my warrenty covers tires getting screwed? lol

That is non-repairable. Screw is too close. When patching a tire, you need to buff the inside of the tire. Since the screw is close to the sidewall, you would be buffing the sidewall of the tire which can cause the structure of the sidewall to weaken. It's all for safety.
