i recently discovered a piece of metal rod firmly embedded in my right front wheel. when i tried getting it out, air started to hiss out of it. buti na lang nasa gas station ako't pinalitan ko kaagad.

is it a good idea to have the tire fixed at a vulcanizing shop? bagong bago pa sya, no obvious wear and tear(well, aside from the hole). mas gusto ko sanang palitan na para me peace of mind, pero just wondering if ok lang ipa tapal. i'm planning to make "long" trips kasi, e.g. laguna, cavite.
