nail in tire...

I would just put a plug and rubber cement on it from the outside and see how well it holds.

If you want take it to a shop to have that patched from the inside out. Make sure the shop has touchless tire mounter.

it's not hard to do. they sell kits for like $7 at autoparts stores. worst that can happen is air will leak slowly. the radial is already cut, even if you patch it from the inside out you've already lost speed rating.

seems the stleaership will do it for 15.00 so I will team this up with an oil change tonight or in the am tomorrow.
