It only take one time for a blowout at 150 mph to turn you day into a really bad day. My tire guy marks the tire where the valve stem is, demount the tire and put a patch from the inside. Patch is good for 150 run because the centrifugal force at 150 mph is pushing the patch against the tire instead of trying to pop a plug out.
