Nail in Right Rear Tire. Repairable?

I have a nail or hook in my right rear tire and I'm just curious if you guys think it's repairable or if I'm going to need a new tire.

Thanks in advance.

Agree 100%. It's repairable by patching from the inside. See a competent tire shop, not the corner gas station.

Make sure it's a shop that does road force balance, too.

Yes repairable, don't pull it out until your're repairing it or you will have a bad time...

Why is he talking about the "new" low profile tires and what has to be done, then using a standard profile tire as an illustration?
