    Should I pull this, it’s not leaking. At shop but they said they don’t patch, said I should just run with it, but eventually I need to make a move, can’t just have this in the tire.

    I’d pull it. Looks like it’s just through the shoulder, likely won’t leak. If you let it in it will work on the tire eventually making it leak. Keep an eye on it for a while afterwards, just to make sure it’s not leaking

    Pull it out. If no leaks drive.
    Mentioned earlier. Probably just in the tread, not thru the tire wall.
    I had a 1/4" lag bolt in my tire like yours. Turned it out and still using it 40,000 miles, no leak.

    just pour a little liquid on it after you pull it and see if you see bubbles. No comment on your mental ability but I have to add in this day and age , DONT USE CARBONATED LIQUID
