Somehow I managed to drive over a carpet tack strip. Didn't lose any air pressure or anything. Will the small nail holes affect how that tire performs or should I be good? Tires have good tread, only about 7k on them.

I would think that you would be good to go if you have no leaks. working for a construction company we see our tires get torn up alot and for small nails we don't usually have to many issues as long as we don't get a hole in the tire

I had a 3” screw sticking out of my 37” AMP mud attacks for I don’t know how long, enough to file the screw down just about even with the tire. Finally saw the end sticking out on my tread. Unscrewed the screw and the tire was good. Dang screw was long inside the tire. No leaks.

As long as it's not losing air done worry about it. The nails used in those tack strips are not long enough to cause a puncture.

This is why I prefer meatier, lt truck tires. Stuff like this doesn't phase them. I guarantee if that was a stock sr-a that tire would be flat.

FFS, I can’t believe the OP actually posted this for people’s opinions. You can’t spend your life worried about what might happen Son, buckle up hand your Buddy that beer and say, Hold that, I wanna try something” ! Making a decision ain’t that har.......
