Giant bolt stuck in tire tread....
So I ran over a large bolt, and now it is subsequently stuck in my tread. The head of said bolt is about the size of a nickle. It is sticking out above the tread. There is a obvious thumping when driving. My question....am I ok driving the 3 miles to the local tire shop to get it patched?

it's three miles....the tire is already screwed and i'm sure you have run flat tires on. in worst
case, drive to the tire shop and if you get a flat, put the spare on.
really no biggie in my opinion.

if the bolt head was the size of a nickle...i would replace the whole tire. i'm sure you drive
triple digit speeds from time to time, so i would not want to put my faith in a patch job.
