The best choice at this time is to replace it with the OEM tire from the dealer. Do not be tempted to put a bias tire on.
We never put tubes in tubeless rims. We also refused to plug tires at all. The risk is just to high. The plug will always come out
when you over load the bike and the tire psi gets low. ( Their kids or grand kids will sue your pants off after the crash!)
With radial tires it is best to match brands front to back. Tire profiles on radial tires can very a lot brand to brand even though
they are the same size. The way a radial tire " bounces " is not at all like bias tire rides. I am sure a lot of us, because this is
not our first time at this , has heard some rider say" When I hit that bump the bike went into a wild tank slapper ". Most times
it's the tires.
