Someone borrowed my car, hit a curb or something in front right tire. There is a gouge in the tire, low profile 20" rim....Khumo Escta 275 45 55 I believe are measurements. And the rim is SLIGHTLY nicked. The gouge is significant...but no air is leaking....it's sat like that for a couple weeks now, and been driven a few times, no problems.

Can I find something to repair this tire which is brand new? or am I screwed?

Gouge is maybe... 1/4" deep, 1" length, and 1/2" width... Epoxy of some sort that will withstand the tire conditions?

Any help asap is appreciated...trying not to spend another 240.00 or whatever it is.
Thanks!

240? You talking about a new set right? Look on ebay, they have good name brand tires cheap as shit. You can get one for probably under a 100.
