Found this gem in my rear run flat. Carefully remove with some pliers? Just a flesh wound? Business as usual after I remove or take it in to get inspected?

… yes, I know I need to clean the car

I think you lucked out. Perhaps some plug repair cement in the hole just because you can and call it a day.

I think you're right. I laughed when I saw it because the six other times a screw or nail went into a tire, I was never very lucky.

Oh Lordy the brake dust!

Haha, just kidding mate. Looks like you lucked out, pull out slowly and check for leak with soapy water.

The dirt and brake dust is flaring up my OCD, but my wife has been driving the rig to the farm non-stop, so I gave up on washing it until this weekend. I cringe every time I see it.

It is run flat? I was told I’d need to get new one if it got punctured but they were able to fix it with a rubber plug thingy and I drove without any issues since then.

I believe tire "shoulder" is not repairable for safety reasons?

You can fix the runflat if the hole is in the tread area, but if it is pierced through the reinforced area of the sidewall, then you should not repair because the integrity of the reinforcement is compromised.

I removed it, and from what I can tell, it was just a surface wound through the tread but easily could have done worse. Seems to be holding pressure, but I'm going to have someone look at it regardless.

You should be good. Just monitor it for any additional wearing in that area.
