Tires are more than rubber. They have a reinforcing layer of threads. You might have seen tires listed as having this-or-that TPI - threads-per-inch. For any chance of a lasting repair your patch needs to have a similar structure.
I've used patches cut from an old jacket liner. I work liquisole into the patch until saturation before applying over the cut. For a road tire I'd patch both sides. You might want to stitch the cut closed first. And clean/roughen the surface first. I've used abt 15 mm overlap.
