if you were to run over a nail, not very big but it stuck in your tire would it pop or just slowly leak air?

I think it would leak slowly

slowly leak air.

Slowly leak air. You would notice it too.

leak slowly, and your tires would feel weird when you drove. it happened to my mom, had to go to get a new tire... :( not cool...

is it dangerous at all to have a nail in the tire. like if you just had ran over it and it then started leaking, would it be dangerous to drive on?

It's safe enough to drive to get it fixed.

As long as it is leaking slow enough you can drive on it to get it fixed.  But don't drive on a completely flat tire, you could fuck up your rim.

Unless its flat, its fine. Of course you arent really going to want to drive on it for long. Get it patched or get a new tire.
