Just thought I'd ask. When checking my tyres earlier as I do every week, saw a tiny piece of either stone or glass wedged into the tyre ( it has been there for at least a week, and there is no air loss in the tyre at all )
I have come across these before and usually pry them out but this one seems difficult.

Is this an issue or not ? Tyres are PS5s with 4mm tread left on them ( I replace my tyres at about 3.5mm )
Tiny thing, can barely see it with the eye, only on camera because it's zoomed in

Thanks

Worth getting it out because it will only work its way in deeper. 'Back in the day', deflinting tyres used to be a regular weekend chore.

Usually regarded as not safety critical as long as the cut has not exposed any cords.
