Rock Stuck in Tire

[lurkmoar]

Ok, it didnt go through the tire but its stuck between the rim and the tire on my trailblazer

like in this picture: Text

should i try and use pliers to pull it out? i poked at it with my key and its wedged in there pretty good.

any help is greatly appreciated

is air getting out?

it just looks like its wedged in there really good. I would try to get it off by letting all the air out and poking at it.

doesn't look like it damaged the tire or rim.

Just look like it's wedged in there. A pair of pliers or even a stick should get it out.

oh no the pic isnt of the tire in question, the tire is on a chevy trailblazer. maybe i should take the tire off and take it into a tire store?

wouldnt taking air out of it wedge it in further? if i jack up the car, maybe the pressure will be taken off and it will be easier to pull out, but right now its not really budging

you can probably get it removed and the tire evaluated for free at your local tire store. lots of those places fix tires for free in hopes of earning future sales.

Let the air out remove the rock or tap it with something to break it a bit...pulling it out will probably mess up the wheel.

But yeah you should remove anything that gets wedged into the tire.

it will come out on it's own
