Screw in Tyre what to do ?
Discussion
Don’t pull it out!
Foreign bodies in tires is something people seem to worry about, one of the sites I visit with work is a wire recycling facility, nestled in the middle of some scrap yards.
A visit to site results in gaining several items stuck in your tires. I used to worry about this but these days I just leave it. I have had tires that look more like glitter balls then rubber when the time has come to change them on tread depth. Generally I just keep an eye on them and check the pressures more often, other then that I don’t worry.

k that! 
Although I'm pretty sure I did a few days hooning around Wales with a screw stuck in a rear tyre once.
Had a screw in one of my OH's tyres and I carefully removed it - it wasn't particularly long so hadn't done any significatn damage. If it's gone through and causes loss of pressure when removed then it can be repaired as long as it's not too near the sidewall, and not driven on for long whilst flat.
My wife took the tyre to a local fitter who assured her she should buy a linglong super whatsit tyre to replace it - she declined and said she'd check with me. I took it to my preferred fitter who checked for loss of air with soapy water, and for depth of damage, and told me it's fine. £110 saved there!
