Help! Object stuck in tire
While driving home from dropping my brother off at school, I noticed a weird noise coming from my back left tire..sort of a "..pop-pop-pop" noise while in motion. So I get home and start to examine my tire. At first, I thought it may be a bubble and that the "..pop-pop-pop" noise was the bubble expanding when putting pressure on that part of the tire. Well, I was wrong..its a thin metal object from what I can make out of it..maybe a razor blade? ..that's stuck in the thread of the tire. I figured I could just pull it out but when I slightly moved the metal object, the air started escaping, so I figure its best to leave it in for now. If anyone has any tips/suggestions, please reply! ..and if you're going to post for me to get new tires, don't bother. Thanks in advance.

Definitely take it to a tire shop. I've done this twice the past few years. They will remove the tire and patch it from THE INSIDE with an actual patch!! Don't bother wasting time and money just filling it with a plug and stuff...get it done right. It has only cost me ~$10 CAD, so shouldn't be too bad for you in the States.

they should be albe to patch it aslong as the razor hasnt damaged any of the belts inside the tire...its 15 dollars at my local tire store...so it isnt to bad...or course the last nail i had i patched it myself...
