Default remount tire?

I did a bit of off-roading last weekend. There was a good amount of weeds that got jammed in the bead of a tire. The tire has not lost any air but I don't know if I need to get it remounted or if it is still safe to run. Check out the pic, you can see the bead is a little deformed. What do you think?

Well if you have to ask, remounting is going to be way cheaper than an accident at speed. It also gives you a chance to inspect the wheel up close in case it was damaged in your off.

Remounting is cheap. If the tire still has plenty of life I definitely would.

Most grid captains would not let you run it like that anyway. Needs to be deflated and all debris cleaned out and remounted.

Ok that's what I was figuring. I'll take it in and get it fixed up. Thanks.
