I have taken mine to a goodyear dealer for my rear pilot sports. They seem to have the best plug/patch system around, and still guarantee the speed rating of the tire. Pricey at $50 bucks a pop. I have used the one in Laurel, and Columbia MD. Don

use a plug/patch on that, it looks really close to the side and you dont want it leaking on you. used to work at firestone and did hundreds of tire repairs, the plug/patches never lost air on any tire i worked on.

Looks like it might be to close to sidewall. Most places use a plug-patch which worked very well for me several times.

A plug and patch worked for me with a large drywall screw in mine. It was fixed by NTB (used to be NTW). National Tire and Battery.

I agree. A plug along is only worth doing to get you home to get it fixed correctly.
