Thats solid advice Jamo, I would advise anyone to follow up a plug with a permanent patch on the inside. I'm comfortable with a long term plug depending on the location, size of the hole and angle of the dangle. Not to mention technique, what kind of plug, how you install it, etc. There is a special plug that is actually 'permanent' made for motorcycle tires!

Now speaking of 'Tire Sealant' or 'Spare tire in a can' type of stuff, I've heard it said it will damage an alloy rim. I've also heard many tire repair shops won't work on the tire if you used it. Granted, it's nasty stuff and I hate working on a tire/rim job that has it. Again, I'm thinking BS on this one. I just don't see how 'sealent' could damage an alloy rim?
