Nail in tire, no leak..help?

[Stormtrooper5.0]

So I just got this fking car in december and last week i discovered a nail in the shoulder of my rear left tire. As dumb as I am I still continued to drive it...even drove it on the hwy a lot of times because it doesnt look like I'm losing air, infact it seems totally fine. Today I had time to go to the tire shop and they said that its unfixable because its too close to the sidewall but it may not have even punctured through far enough and I could try pulling it out, but at my own risk.

Its been a week since I discovered the nail but I still havent had any problems, I dont hear any air coming out and the tire pressure gauge on the dash doesnt seem to show any loss of air. Should I take the risk and pull this nail out?

My tires are michelin ps4s, 275/40/19.

Had that issue once. Nail was way inside the tire and had to refill air every week or so. I ended up getting the nail out and obstructing the opening with some brownish thing I can't remember the name of. It did the trick and never had an issue again.

You may want to try that...

Just went through this as well. Front tire had a nail near or almost on the shoulder. Had to put air in it about once a week, did that for about two weeks even though it’s my daily. Finally took it in and they said my inside tread wasn’t deep enough so they couldn’t patch it, wanted me to buy new tires. Ike just trying to get by for another month or so, so i plugged it myself and rotated it to the rear for safety’s sake, lol. Pretty sure the shop wouldn’t have plugged it even if the tires were new being that the hole is pretty near the corner of the tread.
