Not sure if this should be in technical, if so, mods please move for me? Thanks!

Someone borrowed my car, hit a curb or something in front right tire. There is a gouge in the tire, low profile 20" rim....Khumo Escta 275 45 55 I believe are measurements. And the rim is SLIGHTLY nicked. The gouge is significant...but no air is leaking....it's sat like that for a couple weeks now, and been driven a few times, no problems.

Can I find something to repair this tire which is brand new? or am I screwed?

Gouge is maybe... 1/4" deep, 1" length, and 1/2" width... Epoxy of some sort that will withstand the tire conditions?

Any help asap is appreciated...trying not to spend another 240.00 or whatever it is.
Thanks!

240? You talking about a new set right? Look on ebay, they have good name brand tires cheap as shit. You can get one for probably under a 100.

they are custom ordered tires, because they are for 20s ..it's hard to come by them, thanks though!

To Lt1 guy...It's in the sidewall...I was hoping I could not plug it, but poxy it?

Well, guess not!
Thanks for the help!

you need a new tire. sorry.

Probably better to replace it than to just hope it doesn't fail at 80mph

You can't fix it.

You need to tell whoever drove your car that they owe you a new tire and need to pay to fix your wheel.

Try some rubber cement!!!! Get the guy to go buy you a new tire.

The sidewall of a tire handles all the load of the vehicle. If the sidewall is damaged to where is is unsafe it has to be replaced. A patch, plug nor anything else but a new tire will hold.
