I've never had a patched tire fail before it was just worn out. I'd feel very comfortable with one of those patch-plugs in a tire (shaped like a tack with a broad head) well into triple digits.

And I've plugged tires many times over the years and never had one fail before being worn out. I've had plugged tires at triple digit speeds many times.
