What model of tire was that? I just ditched my Open Corsas because something similar happened at about 300 miles. It sealed enough to get home by pumping it back up every hour, but there was a sealant booger sticking out of the gash and a slight bulge in the tire the whole way. To be fair, I think I messed up trying to insert the bacon strip, but even if successful, all signs point to replacing the tire when you get home anyway.
