Tire Plug in a Performance Tire?
Would you guys accept a patched rear performance tire as a permanent fix?
I picked up a nail in my right rear tire on the Turbo. 305/30/19 Bridgestone Potenza RE050 N1 with only 3,000 miles. Luckily, it was smack in the middle of the tread and not near the sidewall. The local tire shop repaired it with a interior patch-plug. They said drive it and forget about it.
I would never do a track day with it, but do you guys think its safe to do spirited street driving for another 10K miles until I need to replace them due to wear?
