    I have run several plugged tyres with all of them lasting until the end of their natural life.
    Never had a problem - and I did seriously high mileage at speed.
    As long as it's done properly and the position of the plug is not in a vulnerable area (expert advice of tyre fitter required) - it should be hunky dory.

    Yeah, about right. There is a load of nonsense written about this contentious matter, most without the knowledge to do so.

    Done in the correct manner, by pros, to the suitable puncture, a plug is very successful.

    Any doubt, they will not do it. Keep away from cowboys !
