Seriously. Buy new tires. Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Didn't have a ton of time to research tires but I went with some Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric's. I love them. It's my DD so it hasn't seen any track time. I always thought the stiff ride was more of a spring issue than any thing. Turns out it's a tire issue. Swapping tires got rid most of the sharpness I was feeling. I should've done it day one. It's really night and day. It also helped a ton with brake feel. It feels a lot more solid on hard stops.

The only way I would have a sidewall repaired is if I was planning on buying tires in the immediate future and just needed to get by until then. *2 cents*
