    literally.

    my front right tire has been screwed on the edge.

    I have BF goodridge sport and it still seem to have good tread (i think. how do I check this? i tried the penny trick but that doesn't tell how much tread is left).

    What's my best option? repair? replace?

    is it loosing air?
    Unless its in the sidewall, it can be plugged.

    I left it in there cuz I think it will loose air as soon as I pull it out. At the moment, I think it's slowly loosing air.

    it's sort of on the side, punctured in a 45 degree angle...

    I have no idea where this could've come from... I havn't driven off road or near construction yard.

    It isn't even a nail. its a freakin SCREWWWW

    I''ll go to good year that's a mile away from my house tomorrow....

    given that they can repair it, is it safe to drive on a repaired tire? hard?

    if its on the sidewall, it can't and shouldn't be plugged and/or patched

    I'd go to Good Year (or where you bought it) and see if there is a warranty on the tire... I had a set one time, and as I was leaving I got a nail stuck in two tires by the time I got home. I went back the next day and they replaced both for free
