Man that's kind of a bad place for any type of repair. You could plug it, but who knows what'll happen to it when you decide to take that occasional 120+mph run 
A tire failure at that, let alone any decent speed, could end w/ dire consequences.

More than likely you're gonna experience a blowout if ur working it hard when it goes, otherwise the patch will just loose its hold and you'll come out to a flat tire in the morning. Just my opinion, your car, and your life for that matter, is worth 1 or 2 hundred dollars for a new one.
