Damaged tyre safe to pump up?

Ive got this damaged front tyre. currently running at 2.4 bar (35psi). will it be safe to pump up to 3.2 bar (46psi). max sidewall is 3.5 bar. want to start a 3.2. the tyre had a valve failure and ran flat without the wife noticing for about 10 miles. you can see the wear on the sidewall. its not a lot but you can see the tyre brand name (FALKEN) with half the text worn away. 2nd there is a small gash in the sidewall. donno how it got there bought the car like that. it is fairly deep but doesn't cut down to the canvas or steel belts. 3rd the tyre has a plug in it from a puncture about a year back. all issues on this 1 tyre all other tyres are 100%. will this be safe at higher pressure?
