maxxis larsen tt i got last week and used twice, now has a 10mm vertical tear in the sidewall, thanks to the welsh slate at brechfa! is it fixable or a right off?

In my impecunious youth I used to sew them back together and put a patch on the inside.

Sew up the hole using dental floss, big thick puncture patch on the inside and one on the outside (this is how i have successfully repaired many tubeless tyres with slashed sidewalls.
