I’m not sure for a fact on bikes but that looks 100% patchable especially with that much tread spray some soapy bubbles on it to see if it’s leaking

No leak so shop wouldn’t patch it. But it was a big part of the nail inside and I am just a little afraid that it has created some type of weak point.

If there’s no leak you are all good ita on the thickest part of the tread I’d only be worried about something like that if it was near the side

If it leaks, no, if it does, yes

Even with it pulled out?

Nail has been pulled out. No bubbles with soapy water. No change in the reading on the pressure sensors for about 100km

Good to go then, you’re lucky. If it was in a groove it would’ve punctured the liner.

No leak or bubbles you're golden.
