Nice nail in my tire. Had it fixed. Am I good?

You should be good as long as you're not racing the car... I would never go on a track with a plugged tire...

mine actually held up at 155mph at the track and a full season of autoX, got one in the front now on top of the tread that has worn even with the tire. gonna have to run it at our track day next month, i wouldnt track it if i had more than 1 in the tire or if i didnt have the runflats with the hardass sidewalls.

Seriously ?? 12K on a set of tires??? Normal driving and maybe the occasional "spirited romp"??? That sounds pretty shitty!

Lost one earlier this week.. apparently split the steel.. couldn't save it..

Well that's what the tire shop said at least.. LOL..

Patching you should be good to go.. plugging is awesome until you can get it fixed correctly..

Sidewalls and outside of the tread are a no-no..
