Re: How bad...

Is it on the front or rear? If its on the front it should be fine for a few days, I just wouldnt drive more than 50mph or so. If it's on the back I would switch it to one of your front tires. It could hurt your rear differential if you drive on it long being that the rear tires are different sizes and not rotating at the same speed.
