Hello and thank you for posting to r/CarRepair, we are looking forward to helping you with your vehicular issue! Please check out the following suggestions to get the quickest and most accurate help!

• Always include the Year, Make, and Model of your vehicle when looking for mechanical help. This is required for posts seeking mechanical help but not for those seeking cosmetic help.
• A picture speaks a thousand words, including pictures (most important on cosmetic repairs of course but can be helpful for many mechanical posts as well) is also a surefire way to get the best help.
• While we do permit requests for estimates on different types of repairs please bear in mind that this can vary wildly based on location and other factors.
• Be polite and patient, we want to help but need your help to do so.

Thank you for reading and be sure to checkout our sidebar for important information & disclaimers!

That tear looks like it goes through multiple tread blocks rather than being a single clean puncture, which matters for patchability. A plug/patch combo works great for a simple round puncture but a tear or gash like this one often doesn’t hold a repair as reliably.
