Cousin has a razor blade stuck in his car tire..

[Koenigsegg]

It's in the threading area and essentially part of the tire..is it safe to leave in there? Or should he go about getting a new tire? Any way to know if he can just drive around with that thing in it?

how far is it in? I have a policy of not leaving sharp objects in my tires....

You don't want to drive around on it. Whether you need to have it repaired once it is removed depends on how deeply it has cut.

Send the tire (complete with car) to me immediately for service. Servicing this condition might take as long as 6 years.

It is generally not safe, and most likely the tire should be replaced.

If he happens to run someone over, he WILL get assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder...

He should burn the tire and then he can retreive the razor blade from the ashes. With a little polishing and stomming it should be servicable again.

Just take the tire to Wal-mart and patch it up. $5 or something.
