Guess I got luck,y was created by jonnybravo
put my bike up on the lift last nite to do my check after initial break in period. Thats when i noticed something in my rear tire, it was towards the edge of the tread, no air loss at all. Guess the nails shot off to the side enough not to puncture, the tire is a Dunlop tubeless with only 600 miles on it, the nails are about an inch and a 1/4, not sure if I should trust this tire

Hard to say... whats the tire look like exactly?

I rode on a tire once at some pretty high speeds for over a month before I notices a huge staple not much unlike yours, right in the tire - never had an issue at all - tire held up well.

just a couple of holes near the edge of the tread toward the sidewall, I'll have my tire guy look at it but I dont know, I was doin some major twisties (thats all we have here) action so I guess it would have gone already :whistle:
I guess I could always have a tube put in
