Its a RF so I'd do a self plug and limit my speed until the new tires arrived. Its too close to the sidewall to do a professional repair. But when all's said, it's designed to go 200 miles on no air.

depending on what it looks like on the inside, a plug patch combo should be a good fix. as others have said....just take it easy until your new tires come in

I'd give it a shot with a good plug kit,,,,as long as it is going to be only easy cruising and around town stuff. I WOULD NOT trust it for a trip or extended highway use!! Depends on how you are going to use it!! I agree it looks like the point would just barely be puncturing the inner seal of the carcass!! My opinion IS based on the assumption that it is a run-flat tire!!
