Screwed

While cleaning the wheels. I found a very small screw embedded in the RR tire. I removed the screw and found it to be about 1/2 inch in length. The tire has been holding pressure so far. I sprayed water on the area where the screw was found and did not see any bubbles. The tire are the original Goodyear Supercar runflats.

Suggestions, is this something to just keep an eye on?

Thanks.

I wouldn't do anything unless it was leaking.

But I'd try some soapy water.
