I had a small nail/pin stuck in my rear tire in the groove area, i.e., between the treads. I pulled it out and noticed it did not completely go through the tire. It went in approximately .2 cm ( 1/16 in.) no air leak at all. I would like to know how thick the rubber is in the groove area and if tire was compromised. I have the OEM pirelli zeroes.

 

i think your ok as it didnt harm the metal belt.

 

Your fine.. YOu would have had quite a job pulling it out if it had compromised the wire internals and rubber further.

 

I think you are fine.

 

As long as it didn't puncture the tire you will be OK. You can mark the spot with a tire crayon and keep an eye on it for a few days. You can even put a drop of rubber cement over the hole for a bit more peace of mind.
