What do you think? Nail in tire…

Is it a drill bit?

 

Pull it, plug it (if necessary) and send it

 

70 is really nothing to be scared of... Stay below the posted truck speeds a few mph with the rpm above 1800 and you'll be fine.


DD13, normally above 80,000. 32mph on Eisenhower, 38mph with a couple brake applications near the runaway ramps on Vail. Don't let Vail fool you, it's steep for a short bit at the top, then flattens out for a couple miles, then steep to the flat below the first runaway, then drops again until the 2nd runaway.

Watch your speed in the Idaho Springs construction and in Vail. They been hitting those hard.

 

The ultimate decision, what to do? So far, we have a nail, a deck screw, a drill bit, an easy out(?), I sprinkle a little water on it( or pee) and if it wasn't leaking, leave well enough alone. If you simply must, I got one of those tubeless tire plug kits, and it worked great, for 4 wheelers too. You dodged a bullet this time, but eventually, it will begin to leak.

 

I don’t think it will ever begin to leak. Good to go. Saved yourself a possible flat, and possibly running flat, ruining the tire. Good job.

 

Anything suspicious I send in a DVIR. If a replacement is approved great I'll try to work it to my advantage and get a laundry done while waiting at Love's
