I can, but you'll just have to monitor tire pressure on it at first and at regular intervals. It's boarderline "fixable" in a tire shop's eye. If you can get a plug-patch in there...do it.
Plug it. I've done ones in about the same spot, and it lasted the life of the tire. BTW, use plenty of cement, and not only do they slip in easier, they seem to hold up better.

Going to cake that ****** in cement.
Now for the million dollar question...
Would anyone track on it? I don't really want to, but I question if I'm just being a *****.

I've plugged dozens of tires and never had a problem. All I do is hog-out the puncture (sometimes I use a drill), the shove the tacky string thing in there, cut it, and drive. No cement or anything, just glory.
I think I've plugged 3 r-comps over the years and never had a problem either.

I'd plug it.
FWIW I've done many, many plugs (used to be a tire tech) and I'd say about 5% of those I did without cement leaked and had to be redone. Those done with cement never leaked. Drown that bitch in cement.

You must have owned a set of ITP mudlites
They are so bad, around here they got the knickname "pluglites". Seriously, I had a couple hundred miles on my new neogens and found a nail in one. I plugged it at the first of the summer and has been great since.
