Me neither, but it caused me mental anguish, I always have installed a new tire asap.

Thank you all for your input.
So if there are no soap bubbles and tire is holding pressure fine, do nothing, right?

Yes is my answer we will see what the others say

IMHO, if it doesn't leak and you're good with it (mentally)... there's nothing to done except keep a close eye on it. For me, I'd replace it as soon as able based on the risk vs. cost. If this was on my wife's bike, I wouldn't let her ride it to the repair shop... I'd take it for her without issue though.

It defiantly adds a level of excitement to hard cornering or testing the speed rating for the tire. seriously though it is no longer a v rated tire, respect that bud

I was following a guy long ago who blew a front tire. He kept it upright, but went from shoulder to shoulder and ground the soles of his boots off.

Its only money.

Tire pressure is fine. No air leak.
The screw is only 1/16th inch diameter and 3/16th inch in length, and was in the middle of the tire, not in the tread, so can't imagine it caused any damage.
It is so tiny that my wife laughed when I pulled it out. Wait, that didn't sound right

I agree with and respect all your opinions.
It's not the money. It's just because I can't imagine it could've caused any damage, plus the hassle of taking it to the dealer and them effing with it.

If I had a nickel for every time that'd happened.... I'd just buy you a tire.

Never had issues with a good ol twizzler tire plug before. I've used one in my current back tire for ~7k miles with no issues.
