Tire availability—so cal

Ran over something I thought was just cardboard on the 405 yesterday morning, but unfortunately it appears it was something more since my Pressure warning came on later that day and the tire was visibly going flat. Repair kit did its job, but now finding anyone with the correct size in stock has been a mission (235/50 r20). Dealer I bought from (galpin) doesn’t have it and they can’t even order it (listed as when available). Multiple independent shops have said “that’s an unusual size, we got nothing.”

hoping I can find something soon, as my work commute will blow through the recommended time to drive on the repaired tire in 2 days…

Is it possible that you can get a tire shop to remove and repair (patch inside) the tire while waiting for one from Tire Rack??
They show 4 in stock, from fielsport's link:
