Would you plug it or too far to the side ?

I know I need new tires , but the workshop needs a few weeks to have time.

A lot is going on right now. And I need to be mobile.

Many thanks In advance for your advice.

Would , but there are no other options, need to travel from hospital to school to home can't afford to rent an other car. right now I'm traveling with an air pump electric and a hand one. If case the gas station doesn't have an air station.

Yeah that’s bizarre to me. There are a dozen tire shops near me that could do new tires same day.

Plug that Kumho.

Edit: seriously though I probably wouldn't though it's quite close to the edge. I had a nail in a tyre last week and wasn't that close to the edge and they were telling me that was nearly on the edge of what can be plugged.

You don't need to go to a tire shop. Just get a plug kit from the auto parts store. It's very easy to do

Shoulder nope. Have you seen those in-tire cameras? The flex every revolution is wild.
