Get a spare
The first accessory I bought for my boat when it was new was a spare tire. I also bought one of those roll on jacks. Had to change a tire this year and it worked great. Fortunately I noticed that the tire was bad but good enough to get me to the lake. Launched and then changed the tire with the load off.
You didn't say but it sounds like you were able to maintain control ok. Must have been a scary time.
