    This is why I always roll forward a foot on my pre trips. Tire is holding air, no signs of a leak. Looks like it’s a nail can’t tell for sure. It’s been in there for at least a week because I’ve been off for a week, but I’m running Vegas to Chicago starting tomorrow. What’s the best thing to do?

    Pull it. If it leaks, stop the leak.

    Pretty much words to live by on many things in life

    Grab it with some pliers and wiggle it. If it leaks when you wiggle it around then leave it be until you get to a tire shop.

    if you leave it in, it will work it's way deeper.

    don't pull it until your somewhere to get it fixed, in case it's through

    Like others. Pull it when your parked at a TA or anywhere else with a tire shop. They can patch that, if it leaks.

    You're still with Schnieder right? I'd roll with it as long as it's holding air. When you get to a terminal, get them to patch it. That way you don't lose time going to a shop that takes all day.

    I gave it a little wiggle with my fingers and it popped right out. Was barely in there. No leak, can’t see the hole at all. Good to go. Thanks for the advice gentlemen.

    Not a nail. Looks more like a deck screw.
