    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?

    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
