Default screwed...
Is there anything I can do about this or am I down until I get new tires?

Yea, plug it. Had a buddy back in the 90's who picked up a nail on his bike tire a drove around with the nail in the tire all summer long, and said he never added air.

Looks like you're due for some new meats anyway , I'd plug it and run for now this late in the season.

I wouldn't ride on that tire even if there was no puncture.

I plugged a brand new Dunlop earlier this season.. It's perfect.. Hasn't even dropped 1 lb since. Rides great..

However it looks like your about due.. I'd say plug it and ride until October, then new meats for you!
