Default Lucky!

I just had a new rear tire put on with less then 300 miles on it an noticed there was a small nail pushed through the outer lip and back out again ( the beefy edge part of the tire and the nail came out right where the sidewall starts). I pulled the nail out and put some soapy water over the hole and no bubbles. I will watch it, but hope I do not have to go back to have a tube put in.
