JB weld

I think he might want to add some FlexSteel Tape to hold in the JB Weld though, done in the past...

Have it mounted facing inside so you can't see it

Fix what? Looks fine to my. Maybe a little low on tire fluid, but otherwise you got at least 10 to 20k left on that tire.

Flex tape

That is exactly right

Like 400 plugs

but i want it too look like new, where can i buy invisible plugs

No need just get those bad boys in there and take an angle grinder to it and smooth it all out. It will likely look better than new, prompting you to similarly damage and repair the other three tires. Hope that helps!

Nice idea so it is symmetrical, but should i use a cutting or a grinding blade
5
They're both the same so it doesn't matter.

Roofing tar homie, it’ll match the color and give you more grip on the road

Should have filled with nitrogen

add several gallons of fix a flat, as much as you can buy, it will replace the air in the tire and stop it going flat

Yes, just glue some rubber on it.

Your tire just needs Vulcanizing. First, find yourself a Vulcan; then have him/her transfer their Katra upon said tire. A week or so later it'll be good as new, with minimal memory loss.

Dude, that'll just buff out

Use that mysterious green liquid from Walmart

Weld it

Clearly they have never heard of FlexTape

First thing you're going to need is a rubber welding kit. Tire companies hate it.
1
Use expanding foam. Check Home Depot, Lowe’s, or Ace Hardware, then Gorilla Tape to hold in the tire.

Use electrical tape so it will match the tire.
Then fill it with slime
Should be good for another 20,000 miles or so.
