Splinter In Tyre

[Lexus-IS]

While inspecting my tyres, I noticed something in between the grooves like a stone and when I tried taking it out, it seemed to have gone into the rubber sideways from the groove, so I pulled it out and it was a small pointy wood. It wasn't that deep. About 2mm. I'm monitoring the tyre and there seems to be no air loss.

Should I get it puncture repaired anyway or wait and see if it leaks?

Just put some water on it and check for bubbles.

If it went in sideways within the tread I'd be surprised if it could result in any air loss.

Just check the tyre regularly for a few days. If there's a problem you'll soon find out.

If it doesent leak it isnt punctured , just keep an eye on it.
