Got a screw in my tire and got some questions
Crap I discovered this while washing my car. I am now trying to figure the best solution to get this fix. Should I pull it out and drive to the tire shop? or should I drive it as is to the tire shop? Also when they repair the hole is it pretty safe to drive? Asking because I track my car with these tires.

My wife just had one about a week or two ago. The tire shop was only a couple of blocks away and it was raining so I drove. Normally I would have jacked up the car and removed the tire so I could take it there in another car.
You could also try and do it yourself. I have had positive experiences with those DIY kits over the years.

It doesn't even look like it went right through, unless that is one of your screws and you know it is a long sucker... I would just get a screw driver and slowly unscrew it, wear some safety glasses just incase the tire releases pressure but it isn't going to go BOOM!
I track street tires, I don't want to have to afford R-comps/wheels. I wouldn't take all seasons on a track though lol.

If it's not a runflat tire or have a heat righ around the sidewall from you driving around with the tire flat, it is safe to repair. bring it to a shop that plugs it and also patches it from the inside. it will be safe after the patch.

A part of me think that it didn't go through. I can't believe I didn't even think about remove the rims and take it to a tire shop haha. I was probably too frustrated thinking about it when I posted it up. FYI I do AutoX and Jason yup it is for the rear. I did a quick eye measures and it is about 1.5 -2 inches away from the sidewall. I will try to make some time this week to work on it. Sucks that this happen. I have less than a hundred miles on them.
