None whatsoever, so I felt it was still safe to continue driving. Went straight to the office (as I reckoned tyre shops were not opened that early) and managed to locate a 2" screw that was embeded into the thread of the tyre.  2 hours later, when it was time for me to take the car to my regular tyre shop, I noticed the affected tyre had not deflated too much and thus was still usable without the need to re-inflate first.  I quickly drove to my regular tyre shop which is about 10km away plus some stop-and-go traffic to have it patched up and now it's all good, fingers crossed.  I reckoned if the car were to be left overnight, the affected tyre will still be able to retain it's shape sufficiently to enable me to continue to use.</p></blockquote><p></p>
