If it was my car, I’d replace the tire.

But it’s your car and I don’t know you so I’ll say go ahead and fix it just so I can sit back and take bets with ChatGPT to see who wins.

New tire without even thinking about it. If I can afford a $150k car then spending a few hundred $ for a new tire seems a no brainer for me, esp considering safety.

Never take risks with tires. Simples.

We get three to four objects in tires every year where we live. When I walk on our street I can pick up screws, nails, bolts etc… on any given day. Not sure why, but I have a lot of experience with this. That tire does not look patchable.

Been there, done that! Sounds to me like you used to be in military aviation and walked the flight line picking up FOD. 🤗

Had the same thing happen on my 305 rear tire and did get a patch. So far I haven’t had any issues.
