Well, I found a screw (not a nail) in my tire yesterday so I was like "wtf how'd that get there" and I took it to the tire shop today to get it repaired and all he did was take the screw out, and their wasn't any leaks sooo...now what, is it safe still? I would think that area of my tire is a little weaker than it was but is it ok? thanx.

as long as the nail didnt go all the way through to cause a leak, u'll be fine.

ya you should be fine. my mom got a new odessey about 2 weeks ago, and found a screw in the tire a few days after. They took it to a tire shop and they took the screw out, and filled the hole with some kind of substance. If the air pressure is fine the in tire and doesnt leak, then you will be fine.

I got a flat tyre a while ago and it was a nail.

If they removed yours and there's no leak when they tested it you will be fine.
