Patched tire
Picked up a nail on our last outing. The TPMS didn't show anything and I did not notice that the tire was flat until after being home for 3 days. Slow leak, I guess. I got the tire patched and will us...

shops that plug tires aren't going to do it if they thought they could end up having failures and get sued or put themselves at any liability risk. They can't afford it nor would their insurance company allow it if they thought there was any reasonable liability risk.
And I have yet to come across a shop that didn't use a plug as the first choice for repairable tires.
And I've found very few that even will do a inside patch. If they have't done inside patches quite often, not sure I'd even trust that over a plug.
But in the end, do what YOU feel comfortable with.
good enough for me.
These shops are putting themselves at risk of liability, because they are not following the best practices established by the tire industry.
