Rule of thumb:
Tread, Fixable.
Shoulder/Sidewall. Get a New tire.
Well. It's not even rule of thumb. It's common sense that you can't fix a shoulder/sidewall.

225/50/17 tires are really cheap, I'd just get a new one and not risk it.

Not safe, please replace it. Can't cheap out on tires. In the end, you'll get a peace of mind.

From Tire Rack the tire was still $169, I checked. So really that price was not bad.
Those Goodyear OEM tires are stupid expensive...

that's the cheapest I can get over here. even on discountiredirect, they gave me 190USD after tax but without balancing and mounting. Quote:

On a semi-related note, is it just me or has the tire pricings become more competitive (locally vs across the border). When I picked up my tires, the difference was <$100, granted that that was after some price matching / haggling.

correction: it is still way cheaper in US as I can get it for around 220 for mount, balance. BJ A quote me 201 yesterday for all in. but this morning they called me back and said that they forgot to add shipping and broker fee which ends up very close to 300 bucks..
lesson learnt: if you want to get a brand new tire, get your lazy ass to Point Roberts..

Edit: BTW, did you read ALL of the BC4x4 page that you linked to? The very last paragraph:
"In case you are using high performance tires on a high performance ML55 or ML430 or you drive your ML320 like a ML55 - this kit should only be used to get to a tire repair shop. Since there is a lot of "flex" in the sidewall area it is extremely unsafe to permanently plug or patch tires on high performance vehicles."
