You should have no problem getting a garage to plug that. Much cheaper than a new tyre.

I didn't used to think there was much difference but I've recently found out that there's actually quite a bit of difference. Eg on Michelin Cup 2 tyres, there can be a difference of 2-3mm tread depth between the generic model and the manufacturer/model specific version.

I had exactly the same issue with a screw this week. £10 to fix in a local tyre shop - plug and play! Lol

If you want a new tyre - this seems to be it -

1,000 miles in and I have a screw straight through the front passenger tyre and my tyre pressure warning system is lit up. Screw is a Philips and looks to be about an M6 size, so the fact that it's a screw and not a nail means it's not going to form a decent seal and will now always leak air, and that size means if it comes out the hole isn't huge but definitely isn't small.
New tyre time for the Volvo V60:
On the Pirelli site I couldn't look up the V60 Polestar, but a V60 T6 claims to be this tyre: https://www.pirelli.com/tyres/en-gb/car/catalogue/product/p-zero/245_35-r20?ipcode=2490400
When faced with minor variations in the OE tyres... does it matter to match them with the existing?

There are 4 that match, with features like extra load carrying, noise reducing and reinforced sides... not helpful.
This is what the tyre shows (also not helpful as I couldn't match any of this to the standard tyre info):
