I had the same problem with a nail right at the edge of the tire. I
plugged it and made it my permanant spare until I needed new tires all
around then I had to let the tire guys toss the nailed spare and put
one of old 4 up as a spare.
Next time you get tires, get the road hazard insurance. Discount Tires
are pretty reasonable.

A lot of people think that is a good idea but they are wrong; it is a
throwback to the old bias ply days when the sidewalls didn't flex as
much as they do in a modern radial tire. If the damage is so bad or
located far enough down the sidewall that a patch wouldn't hold, it will
chafe right through a tube as well. Key thing to remember is that a
tube has no strength on its own without the tire, so if the tire is
structurally compromised a tube won't do anything for it. Also, a
puncture while a puncture through a tubeless tire will often result in a
slow leak and allow time to change the tire out someplace other than the
side of the road, if the tire has a tube in it that sucker is going flat
NOW.
Another thing is, contrary to popular belief, there are patches
available that will allow repair of punctures that extend down the
sidewall to some extent.
