Default Nail in my Nitto >_<

Hey guys~~I got a nail puncture one of my tire....it's a Nitto NT555 245-35-20 with 32000 mile on it. The air is leaking BAD I can even hear the sound of leaking air.....What should do? I want to save the tire and don't want to buy a new one until next month when I get my new wheels and then I'll get four brand new tires.......Can I use bubble gum??

if the nail isnt inthe side wall you should be able to patch it. Take it to discount tire they actully take the tire off the rims to plug and patch it up
