I've got a nail...more like a screw... stuck in my front tire.
Should I pull it out or leave it in? It doesn't look like a very long screw...I hate to spend $$$ on new tires at this moment...

Pull it out and put one of those tire plug things in (the ones that look like pepperoni sticks. The same thing happened to me about 6000 miles ago and the tire still works fine.

DON"T TAKE IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! unless you want a flat..... Go to a gas station and have them take it out and to repair it with a one of those rubber.... ahhh.... hole fillers. i had a nail not to long ago and had it repaired and i have never had a problem. if you leave it in then you will have a slow leak...

Don't just go to a gas station and get a plug. Go to STS or any tire shop and get it patched from the inside. Most of the time plugs will wear out, or you'll get slow leaks. Pay $20 or whatever it is and get it done right.
