Here is the culprit. You think this can be repaired? All the kits I've seen on amazon appear to be for nails.

Do you have a birdseye view or an angle shot as its hard to tell what that thing is in your tire and what its shape is. Right, most repair kits assume a round-ish hole. Use a mirror if you cannot get a close up shot.

Questions:
- What brand and type of tire is it?
- Did it go flat at any point?
- Did you drive on it with very low pressure in it? Like <20-25psi

I had a good nail in the same spot on my 20" run flat. Figured I'd have to spring for a new tire. Took it to Discount Tire and they said they can repair runflats now. And they did it for free! Complementary repair, they said.

Guess they're all about generating good will and having you come back in the future to buy tires.

I had a large bolt in the tread of my run flat and got it plugged.

Depends on the brand of tire. Pirelli does not allow plugs but they will warranty the tire. Discount Tire usually does a good job telling you which brands can be repaired
