It was a small nail, maybe 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch long and very skinny. But I'd rather spend a few more dollars now and get this thing done "right" the first time and not have to deal with it again.
Tire needs to be dismounted and plugged from the inside.

Long term the consideration is corrosion of the steel belts that have been now exposed to the environment. Takes a couple of years for that to be an issue however. I burn through tires way quicker than that.
