I have a nail lodged in but tire has not deflated. How long can I drive it?

The tire is tubeless, a plug can be installed, or a patch can be placed on inside of tire if puncture is in the treads. Tire needs to be removed from vehicle, then removed from rim to apply a patch. Some shops will install a tube to get you by, but not the best fix, If hole is to large tire replacement is warranted, sidewall damage cannot be repaired successfully.
