New tire?

[ksgoh88]

Talked to some different people and some say patch it, and some say get a new tire. I'm leaning towards a new one, but I'd like to hear some opinions.

Wow how did that happen? I'd patch it some people don't think it's safe to patch tires but that's such a small hole just patch it ull be fine.....but that's nuts/sucks

Grabbed it pulling into my apartment. Someone probably had a fender bender and didn't clean up after would be my guess.

What's in the tire?
When I got a nail in mine I just got a new bt 023. 170 mounted

Seems to be a metal screw embedded in what seems to be plastic bodywork.

I'd replace it. IMO although patching is semi safe, I'm not going to count on a tire with a flaw on my bike. That's the only thing that's keeping you upright!

Agreed. I'd replace it. Just my two cents.

We have had this question before a few times and this is the best advice.
