Anyway, I understand that U said the nail is tangent to the thread and never punctured in completely. The question really is how deep did it go in. It's really hard to say but to be safe and best way is to get new tires.

I'm looking for 4 new tires myself. One of them get a side wall punctured. I know, I know.. I shouldn't drive around with it. So looking for replacements.
its true, sometimes its a little hard to generate enough spittle.. lol....

as for the puncture in the tread... a patch is not as good as no puncture, but it will work... as long as it's not a jagged cut or too large of a puncture... patch is fine!

again, side wall anything... and you get a new tire... puncture on the tread, you can still use the tire... or, get a new one, and used the punctured/patched tire as a spare...
