Would the $5 plug kit idea work or is the puncture a lot bigger than that?

I wouldn’t do the roadside plug if you help it cause that essentially ruins the tire and should be only a temporary last ditch fix. A tire center should be able to fix the tire for almost nothing.

The nail is all the way in the tire

Still might work, nails are usually the same thickness throughout
