It's the Pantera - front tire.

With a lot of luck it could stay there the remaining life of your tire. With
less luck it catches on something, moves and starts leaking ever so
slightly. Is this the Pantera or your shopping car?

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...
