Take it to a good tire shop. They should be able to patch it for you. I wouldn't worry about doing normal driving on it my self. But it's your car and your money.

Thanks everyone!

I will take it to a shop to get it patched hopefully. I do not race the car at all so I am hoping all will be well after patching...

I have less than 10k miles so I really hope that it can get patched and I dont have to get a new tire.

Yah just patch it. It used to do it, there are different size patches so they should be able to do it. I think if it was any closer you'd be effed tho

i agree. as long as you are not tracking it, just plug it. I would keep a small compressor and a plug kit in the car.

Beware the stealership tooooooooo! They damaged my wheel removing it from the tire.

seems like someone is trying to kill me!

there was nail in the other front tire also. the tech said no need to patch since its not leaking.
