[DeTomaso] A machine screw as a tire plug

[CharlesMcCall]

How long can a screw serve as a plug in a tire?

 

I noticed yesterday that I picked up a screw in one of my front tires. 

 

I am apparently not losing air. Logic says that this should be properly
repaired before straying far from home... Just curious as to how long this
condition could exist before requiring repair? 

 

While logic says that this just isn't right, what will happen long-term if I
continue to drive with the screw in the tire? I can't imagine it backing
out...
