I'd replace it too.
Order a single from tire rack and have them shave it to match the tread depth of the other tires. In the meantime, I'd have one of those mobile wheel doctors come out and try and clean that up.

Wait... That's a thing?!?! ?
This, If you have a spare put it on, if not just drive slow. The worst that can happen is the tire blows out and messes up the rim but it’s already messed up. It’s not an old car from the 50s, a blowout won’t cause loss of control.

Did almost the same but on the inside of the tire. I put the doughnut on. With it on the inside though the flap would hit the strut so you had no choice.

Same exact thing happened to me after my friend approached the curb head on instead of reversing into it. I drove it about 10 miles to a tire shop and it was fine.
Yeah, I had the same Q.
Else I was wondering who would give me the most credit for the 3 good wheels, or buy just a pair and go w/front-back tread life diff for now.
Also, looking into that spare tire kit I keep putting off.

OP, where are you? I had a sidewall puncture around 5k in the OEM tire and replaced the pair. I kept the good tire.

Yes!
Often used for race tires, but not necessarily. I don't know if anyone other than Tire Rack offers the service, but since they do that's good enough. Cost is $25-35 per tire, on new tires only at time of purchase from TR.
